The Hon. Namal Rajapaksa, Attorney-at-Law
Namal Rajapaksa cautioned against politicized criticism of the Police Commission, state officials, and the military. He argued that security-related concerns should be raised through the Security Council rather than at political rallies, warning against public statements that could undermine state institutions.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Abusing the Police Commission will not help. Don’t be ready to attack the Police Commission just because Namal Rajapaksa said something. On one hand you accuse the Police Commission; on the other, you accuse state officials. Your President says the military goes and shoots people dead. What does that mean? This is a country. If you have issues, discuss them in the Security Council. Do not be ready to say at political rallies what should be said in the Security Council.
