Speaking at a media briefing in Colombo today (29), he said are requesting this as they find the death suspicious.

Noting that the CID was involved in arresting intelligence officers after creating fairy tales over the Ekneligoda incident and arresting 'Kondaya' over the Seya murder case, Gammanpila said that therefore, they cannot trust the CID.

If the President's hands are stained with blood, the public has a right to know what really happened to Sobhitha Thera, he added.

He also added that the government is postponing Local Government polls as they are afraid of holding polls.

As the present government has given bitter pills to the public ever since they swept into power, the public is waiting for an election to return the favour, he further said.
