SJB Kalutara District MP Jagath Vithana, speaking to reporters yesterday, claimed that a group had “unlawfully” entered the premises, taken possession of it, and begun cleaning it while police personnel stood by without intervening. He questioned whether such action had official sanction, asserting that responsibility lay with the government.
