A group of MPs from the ruling National People's Power (NPP) have submitted a motion to Parliament seeking the removal of suspended Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deshabandu Tennakoon from his post.
Several NPP MPs handed over the motion to Speaker Jagath Wickramaratne this afternoon.
The motion has been signed by 115 NPP MPs
Mr Tennakoon is currently in remand custody over the 2023 fatal shooting outside the W 15 hotel in Weligama where an officer from the Colombo Crimes Division was killed.
The United States has told Sri Lanka that the disposition of the Iranian naval vessel IRIS Bushehr and its crew is a matter for Colombo to resolve under its own laws and international obligations, while signalling it is in active talks with Sri Lanka to contain Iran’s threat to US interests.
The government today granted permission for an Iranian warship with 208 on board to enter the country.
