Former Parliamentarian Hirunika Premachandra today expressed her protest against the 75th Independence Day celebrations being organized by the government.
Via a live video on social media, the leader of the Samagi Vanitha Balawegaya exposed the various constructions underway in Colombo in view of the Independence Day celebrations.
Hirunika Premachandra pointed out that such constructions are being carried out at a time when the country was facing a severe economic crisis and unable to meet several of its expenditures, such as textbooks for school children.
Video footage shows the former MP later being confronted by a group of Police officers urging her and her associates to leave the premises. (NewsWire)
