The United National Front for Good Governance (UNFGG) today denounced the Kotahena shooting incident in which two people lost their lives and said no candidate should be involved with underworld figures during their election campaign.

UNFGG Kalutara District candidate Nishantha Sri Warnasinghe said if any candidate sought the assistance of underworld figures, the act should be denounced completely.

“Strict legal action should be taken against incidences involvement of the underworld. What happened at Kotahena was unfortunate whether or not the underworld was involved,” he told a news conference.

However, he rejected the claims of the United Peoples Freedom Alliance (UPFA) that the underworld remained inactive during the UPFA government and had raised its head again today.

Mr. Warnasinghe said the previous government had given an official status to underworld figures and had made them political leaders. Therefore, it seemed the underworld was inactive but it was clearly intact, he said. (Lahiru Pothmulla)
