JO protest march was an all time best - Dullas

There is no doubt, the protest march of the Joint Opposition is the most massive of its kind, MP Dullas Alahapperuma says.

The observation was made while speaking at a press conference held in Colombo this afternoon (03).

“This is an all time best protest march in human history,” Alahapperuma told reporters.

He also accused the Government of taking steps to sabotage the protest march which came to the financial capital on Monday afternoon. “Over two million people had joined the march, only one million of them participated for the Colombo rally,” he added.
