The media has stated that 80% of the children in the Suriyawewa area are malnourished.
Taking into account the relevant media reports, a meeting has been called at the Suriyawewa Divisional Secretariat, presided over by Namal Rajapaksa, to discuss future actions to combat rising malnutrition.
The people of Suriyawewa, however, refused to allow MP Namal Rajapaksa to engage in the discussion that the MP had convened.
People gathered in front of the divisional secretary’s office protested against the arrival of the member of parliament.
In the face of public outcry, the MP has evaded the pertinent debate, which he initiated.
