The CID noticed MP Abeysinghe to appear before the CID to record his statement over the speech he made upon the perpetrators of the Easter Sunday attack recently.
In addition, he had mentioned the funding sources of the perpetrators of the suicide attack.
The CID yesterday recorded a five-hour statement from the MP.
