Parliament yesterday urged Speaker Karu Jayasuriya to allocate separate land for protesters near Parliament.
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe told Parliament that some Parliamentarians could not reach Parliament as a result of a protest staged near Parliament today.
Wickremesinghe said the Speaker should ensure the privilege of a Parliamentarian is not violated.
He said the Speaker can speak to the police and consider giving protesters land to protest without blocking the Parliament road. (Colombo Gazette)
