The Lanka Truth website published an article along the lines of “Parliament convened urgently for a strange game,”.

According to government reports, President Ranil Wickremesinghe is preparing to conduct a special propaganda campaign with the participation of MPs from his party on the 27th and 28th. As a result, arrangements have been made for a special session of Parliament on the said days.

FactSeeker investigated the accuracy of the article published by Lanka Truth as Parliament is scheduled to reconvene on the 9th of July.

It was revealed that upon the request of Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena, Parliament is scheduled to proceed on July 2nd at 9:30 a.m..

Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena issued a notice regarding this on Tuesday (25), which stated that this special session has been convened under the Standing Order 16..

Therefore, FactSeeker confirms that the news published by Lanka Truth about an urgent session on the 27th and 28th is false.
