The Hon. Rohana Bandara
Rohana Bandara argued that the IGP had issued contradictory statements regarding a reported threat to his security. He said the initial communication cited a North Central Division Criminal Investigation Unit report and proposed action subject to Cabinet approval, while a later communication characterized the matter as internal to the party and not based on intelligence, raising concern about possible Cabinet or political influence.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 All these statements are contradictory. The IGP first said there is a threat to my security, based on a report from the North Central Division Criminal Investigation Unit, and indicated action upon Cabinet approval. Later—whether due to Cabinet decision or political interference, I do not know—he sent another communication stating it is an internal party matter, not based on intelligence, but his own preparation.
