Election Commission has suspended an event organised by former President Maithripala Sirisena to distribute scholarships for 300 students selected for universities in Polonnaruwa.
Maithripala Sirisena is contesting the General Election from Polonnaruwa.
When the event began, Election Commission officials arrived at the venue informed that scholarships can’t be distributed as it’s violates Election laws.
Former President Sirisena then cancelled the meeting and left the premises after apologizing to the students who had arrived.
