The leader of seven Sri Lankan parties, including Buddhist monks protested against the Tamil National Alliance's leader, R Sampanthan, demanding he resign from the position of opposition leader.
The protest, which was held outside the official residence of the opposition leader, condemned the alleged illegal entrance of Mr Sampanthan into an army camp.

The accusation has been vehemently rejected by the TNA. Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday the party spokesperson and MP, M A Sumanthiran, said the site in question was private property, and Mr Sampanthan entered it with the permission of the owners.
"What is illegal is the army occupation of private lands. [There is] nothing illegal about the opposition leader's visit," he said.
