The Hon. Ananda Wijepala - State Minister (Public Security)

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, you said you would help. Where politicians and their close relatives are involved in such crimes, we have analysed the communications that show dealings. I can brief you if needed. We will not arrest anyone without adequate intelligence. As you offered cooperation, I pointed out that nominating persons with direct links to criminals to political offices is wrong. Please do not now say something else.

¶ 02 On the second matter: I said I would check again. The Senior DIG informed me that to his knowledge no one has been summoned by the CID. I will re-check and inform. I always answer responsibly. There are many ways all parties can support. The underworld and drug menace are a serious threat; everyone must unite against it. Though some disclosures can hinder investigations, we are ready to present what we can. I do not intend to present every detail here now.
