The Hon. Namal Rajapaksa, Attorney-at-Law
Namal Rajapaksa questioned the Government’s ability to ensure public security, citing a shooting at a Pradeshiya Sabha member’s house despite police presence. He also referred to allegations that two Pradeshiya Sabha members abducted someone in a luxury vehicle and noted another shooting the previous day, arguing that such incidents raise concerns about the protection of ordinary citizens.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Even with police present, if a Government cannot protect its own Member, what can it say about the protection of ordinary citizens? How will you protect the public if, despite police at a Pradeshiya Sabha member’s house, there is a shooting; if your two Pradeshiya Sabha members come in a luxury vehicle and abduct someone? Yesterday too there was another shooting.
