  • 24 November 2025 AI summary Hon. Mujibur Rahuman questioned whether the Government remains aligned with the political change expected by the public, and argued that reports of police stations requesting certificates were not merely opposition propaganda, citing public comments on a post by Uvindu Kurukulasuriya and his own complaint to the Minister. He said summoning the journalist involved to the CID risked escalating the issue and affecting media freedom. He also raised concerns under the Urban Development, Construction and Housing Heads about deteriorating housing schemes in Colombo and alleged illegal activities and conversions in some NHDA schemes, requesting ministerial intervention to reclaim, warn, or regularize affected units.
