Minister Namal Rajapaksa says the conduct of the police during the recent protests cannot be condoned.
He made these remarks speaking to the media on Friday (July 09).
“People have a right to protest,” minister said, adding that however, the world is grappled with a global pandemic at the moment.
Hence, the protesters should also act responsibly during such challenging times, he noted.
Violation of health protocols cannot be accepted when there is a risk of virus infection, but the conduct of the police during protests cannot be accepted either, Minister Rajapaksa added.
