The Government granted millions of rupees in tax reliefs for millionaires to live luxuries lives, whereas deductions are made from pensioners in the name of the Agraha Insurance scheme, said Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Leader Sajith Premadasa. Now, they are trying to deduct money secretly without informing the pensioners in the name of Agraha,” said Premadasa. Premadasa further added that the Government is trying to recover the tax revenue funds that was lost by reducing pensions. “I would like to inform pensioners to be vigilant about this. Stop the move to secretly reduce the funds from the pensioners, otherwise we will take to the streets on behalf of the pensioners,” Premadasa said.
