Update: MPs refuse to withdraw
2015-04-20
Protesting MPs who sat in the well of the parliament said that they will not leave the chamber until they receive a written assurance from the President and the Prime Minister through the Speaker, saying that the government will stop hunting down opposition members and former President.

They also demanded that Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe withdraw his statement saying that, obtaining an injunction from the Supreme Court is the only way to stop the former President being questioned by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption.
