Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara argued that national security concerns relating to allegedly risky released containers should be investigated by questioning those responsible for their release, including the relevant Ministers. He said MPs who raised the issue should not be the first to be summoned, as their role was to highlight the potential threat.
