A group of Members of Parliament and local politicians are ready to request President Maithripala Sirisena to appoint Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka to the National Security Council.

RAW tip canceled May Day rallies
Meanwhile, media have reported that the authorities have canceled May Day rallies of all political parties, due to alerts issued by the Indian intelligence agency, RAW.
Earlier this month, the Indian intelligence agencies had warned of such attacks even before the Easter Day attacks.
It is also believed that this is the first time that such a threat has been posed to holding May Day rally since the assassination of the then President Ranasinghe Premadasa by a LTTE terrorist attack in May 1993.
