- 5 August 2025 AI summary Hon. Mujibur Rahuman said his party supports the resolution to remove Deshabandu Tennakoon as IGP, citing its earlier opposition to his appointment and the Supreme Court interim order obtained by party members. He questioned why certain government-aligned MPs had not challenged the appointment earlier and asked why allegations relating to Easter 2019, the Aragalaya cases, and “Operation Yuktiya” were not being fully addressed. He argued that political authorities who directed or enabled Tennakoon should also be held accountable, and called for laws and appointment practices that prevent persons with serious allegations or political loyalties from being elevated to high office. He also raised issues regarding the former Speaker’s claimed doctorate, the release of 309 containers, and the President’s Secretary’s vehicle incident, framing them as tests of the government’s commitment to rule of law.
