The independent group of parties in Parliament has condemned yesterday’s violence in Colombo.
Issuing a statement, the group said those protesting peacefully opposite Temple Trees and Galle Face Green were attacked by groups affiliated to the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna.
It said unleashing violence on peaceful protesters is unacceptable.
The group of MPs has emphasised the importance of stabilising the country promptly as violence had erupted across the country.
The group requested authorities to take strict action against persons who instigated and involved in violence yesterday.
