The Hon. Harshana Rajakaruna
Hon. Harshana Rajakaruna raised concerns over national security amid recurring incidents and referred to allegations that politicians from previous governments had links with the underworld. He asked the Minister to identify those politicians, clarify the alleged connections, particularly involving narcotics, and ensure they are brought before the law rather than using past failures to excuse future inaction.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I thank the Minister for the clarification. However, people have serious concerns about national security due to recurring incidents. You also alleged involvement of politicians of past governments with the underworld. Please state clearly who those politicians are and what links they have, and bring them before the law, especially where narcotics links are alleged. Do not justify future inaction by citing past decades.
