Pivithuru Hela Urumaya General Secretary and UPFA MP Udaya Gammanpila called on IGP Pujitha Jayasundara to leave office as IGP and assume duties as the Chief of Security at Sirikotha UNP headquarters.

Speaking at a meeting at the end of Day 2 of the 'Jana Satana Paada Yatra' at Nelumdeniya last night, Gammanpila said that the police was going from court to court seeking for injunction orders against the march. However, the courts have stayed independent and have largely refused the requests of the police, he added.

He urged the judiciary to consider as to which party organized the events first, pointing out that the UNP membership drives were haphazardly organized to counter the 'Jana Satana' march.

Gammanpila also challenged the police to bring all the tear gas and bullets in the country to try and stop the march.

No amount of tear gas and bullets will stop the march of the people, he added.
