1/2: #SL_Police is collecting personal details visiting house2house in Colombo. An officer said it's after #Aragala activists. I said I can’t agree. I hv told my people not furnish any such information as I know at times such sensitive information end up in wrong hands. @RW_UNP pic.twitter.com/mSM3XrRVSm

2/2: Though police ordinance has room, there should be a moratorium of use during normalcy. This is peacetime. There can’t be unusual activity as such. “Is it a Police-State?” I inquired from police minister #Tiran_Alles. He promptly said he doesn’t know any such activity.
