Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa said today the biggest problem for the government was the extent of my grandmother’s land and not the hardships faced by the drought affected people in Hambantota and Polonnaruwa or the possibility of the IMF loan being turned down because of the failure to implement the VAT increase.
He told journalists after being present at the surveying of the land owned by Yoshitha Rajapaksa in Dehiwala yesterday adding that they would always respect Court orders.
“We will never evade court. At least one of our family members is summoned to Court every day under this good governance government. We have not done any wrong and we are not afraid to come to courts. We have faith in the court today just as in the past and hope justice will be meted out,” he said.
He said the government had done nothing since it took office other than exhuming bodies and surveying lands.
When asked about the delay in holding the Local Government election, Mr. Rajapaksa said the government had no confidence to face an election as it had done nothing for the people.
“We urge the government to hold the election if it was not afraid of elections. Former president Mahinda Rajapaksa was blamed for holding elections. This government has not been able to resolve the burning issues of the people including those of farmers,” he said. (Ajith Siriwardana)

And also putting the killers in jail for a few days for them to have a free medical check-up and then let them go abroad for further treatment.

No white vans, freedom of speech, journalists are not killed, Judiciary is free of politics, Minorities not harassed, Good will among communities, Non aligned foreign policy.... More achievements for the good. For you it is sour grapes.

This Govt. has put our country on the right path! The only people who appear to be complaining are the ones who did all the wrong doings and are facing possible prosecution!

The family problem was to amass wealth, that definitely has been solved!! Now you have to pay the price for all ill-gotten money.

Late journalist, Mr. Lasantha Wickrematunge lived in the hearts of people. So people want to know who killed him and how. That is why courts ordered to exhume his body!
Sincere Wednesday, 28 September 2016 09:06 PM
If Lasantha and Thajudeen were living today, there would not have been any need to exhume their bodies!
