The Hon. (Dr.) Kavinda Heshan Jayawardhana
Dr. Kavinda Heshan Jayawardhana accused government-side figures of hypocrisy over drug-related allegations, saying some who had accused others were themselves linked to individuals arrested by Police and had sought their release. He warned against politicizing such incidents through mutual finger-pointing and urged the Government to work together with others to ensure justice and fairness.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Mujibur knows these; he was in the Inter. I do not know that. So, this is their own crowd. We say clearly: they point fingers accusing others of bringing drugs and then give political speeches. But now the finger points at them, and the Police have arrested them. Then they plead with the Police to release them. Someone in Kalutara also did so. If we are pushed, we will have to say these things. We have the information.
¶ 02 They are angry now. They pointed at our party saying we went with those taken to prison, were there and here. People on your side too were there. If we keep pointing fingers politically, problems will not be solved. If we are to solve problems, let us work together properly to deliver justice and fairness; that is our request from the Government.
