Tamil National Alliance parliamentarians in Batticaloa and Eastern provincial Councillors warned of further demonstrations if those responsible for the shooting of a social worker on Tuesday were not brought to justice.
“We planned to organise a protest today bur we decided to give one week for the police to find the culprits. We are watching whether the government is purposely postponing the investigation,” said the parliamentarians in a press conference.
The announcement came as Social Service Officers (SSO) from fourteen Divisional Secretariats in Batticaloa held a protest opposite the Batticaloa District Secretariat on Wednesday condemning the shooting of SSO Sachithanantham Mathithayan on May 26, reports Ceylon Today.
