Tilak Marapana Calls For Special Press Conference Amidst Calls For Resignation

Lawfulness and Prison Reforms Minister Tilak Marapana has required an exceptional question and answer session at his living arrangement in Nugegoda at the beginning of today, in the midst of the debate with respect to the Avant-Garde organization.

Interestingly, this public interview agrees with the Special Cabinet meeting called by the President to talk about the same discussion.
Marapana got extreme feedback for his remarks in Parliament a week ago, when he said that the Police attacked an Avant-Garde ship in January to "score focuses".





Then, he got another "censure" when the Prime Minister overruled his choice to sack the National Dangerous Drugs Control Board Chairman Dr. Nilanga Samarasinghe a week ago.

There is not kidding hypothesis that Marapana will report his acquiescence from his clerical portfolio today. A few Cabinet Ministers were relied upon to interest for his acquiescence at the extraordinary Cabinet meeting.
