Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa today accompanied SJB MP Ashok Abeysinghe to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID).

Abeysinghe was noticed to appear before the CID to make a statement with regard to some controversial remarks he made linking President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and former Minister Basil Rajapaksa to the Easter Sunday attacks.

Six ruling party MPs and Nissanka Senadhipathy — whom Abeysinghe accused of financing terrorists — have lodged two complaints against Abeysinghe over this statement.

The Parliamentarian made these controversial remarks addressing an internal gathering with SJB activists in the Kurunegala area. A statement is currently being recorded from the Parliamentarian.
