CID complaint filed against MP Archchuna Ramanathan
A group of civil society activists has filed a complaint with the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) against newly elected independent MP for the Jaffna District – Dr. Archchuna Ramanathan.
The activists had urged the CID to investigate remarks made by Dr. Ramanathan in a video he posted on Facebook, which has sparked controversy.
The video, which went viral on social media yesterday (Nov. 21), showed the MP sitting in the seat reserved for the Opposition Leader during the first session of the 10th Parliament. Despite being asked repeatedly by parliamentary staff to vacate the seat, he refused to move.
