Agriculture Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage yesterday said that the SJB MPs had given the lie to their own claim of not having adequate security in Parliament by having meals in the members’ canteen.

Participating in the third-reading stage debate on Budget 2022 the Minister said: “Thirty four SJB MPs have had their breakfast in the Parliament canteen. They came here visited the canteen and had their meals before staging protests this morning. This proves that they have no security fears.
