Several Tamil National Alliance (TNA) parliamentarians staged a protest in front of the Presidential Secretariat this morning, demanding the government to stop land grabbing under the guise of wildlife conservation and Mahaweli Development. The President's media division claimed that TNA MPs were scheduled to hand over a petition to the President. There was no prior intimation that they were to meet the President.

It is learnt that the protest took place when the President was not in his office, and it was a deliberate conspiracy to mislead the government at the Geneva Human Rights Council.
