opposition MPs who questioned the government regarding the media and Eknaligoda
the UPFA MP stated that the Lankans in France were also aware that Eknaligoda
was living there.
Speaking to media earlier,
Sandhya Eknaligoda challenged MP Arundika Fernando to step forward and debate her
regarding his recent statement in parliament.
Responding to this MP Fernando
said that when one hears news or information regarding a missing loved one,
they should first engage in using that information to search for the missing
person and not engage in debates.
The United National Party (UNP) called for the questioning of UPFA MP Arundika Fernando, regarding his statement on the whereabouts of missing journalist Prageeth Eknaligoda, and requested the government to carry out its duty by obtaining information of the matter.
