Summarization
The tweets discuss the recent protests by the Sri Lankan Police STF in Jaffna, the breach of parliamentary privilege, and the subsequent arrests of members of ParliamentLK. The ParliamentLK was adjourned after the opposition protested against the decision of the Sri Lanka President RW_UNP to do away with local government elections. There is discussion of social safety nets and empowerment of women, as well as reforms of SObjects and the misuse of resources. The Cabinet has cleared the draft of a new monetary law and the production of a transparent register of welfare beneficiaries has been delayed due to trade union actions. Finally, MPs from ParliamentLK are engaging in an interactive session on how young leaders can be involved in the parliamentary process.
