The claim
තේසවලාමේ සහ ෂරියා නීති, ලංකාවේ පොදු නීති පද්ධතියට එකතු කරන බවට නියෝජ්ය ඇමති මුනීර්ගේ ප්රකාශයක්
Original review summary
FactCrescendo reports that Muneer’s media secretary said the claim was false and that Muneer had not made such a statement; the Justice Minister’s media secretary also said no such discussion had taken place. The review says the social-media post was made to look like a newspaper article, but notes that no national newspaper named “U News” operates in Sri Lanka and that the post contained inconsistencies.[S1]
Additional context
The review says Thesavalamai and Muslim personal law are already part of Sri Lanka’s legal system and apply to defined communities, rather than being newly proposed additions to a general law applying to everyone. [S1]
