Local election monitor People's Action for Fair and Free Elections (PAFFREL) said the prevailing situation does not allow the holding of the local government polls on April 25.
Its executive director Rohana Hettiarachchi also noted the government was ignoring the court ruling on the election, while its MPs hid behind parliamentary privileges and criticized the verdict.
The decisive factor here is whether the government recognizes the people’s democratic rights by holding elections on time, said Hettiarachchi.
