He was treading on dangerous ground!

The Dangerous Drug Control Chief told the media recently there were none on the Green party nomination lists facing heroin or ethanol-related charges. He also said that the Betel leaf nomination lists carry the names of some candidates involved in this business.

However, this official came in for flak for giving the Green party a clean slate at a media briefing held at the Green party headquarters.

Meanwhile, informed sources of the Dangerous Drug Control Board say that the names of the Drug and ethanol barons appear mostly on the Colombo, Gampaha, Puttalam, Kurunegala and Matale district nomination lists and some of them are former Ministers! The black-coated gentry with ties to the Betel leaf had asked the Board Chief why he was not making public his list of drug and ethanol barons, and the latter had replied that he would go to town with the names after handing over the list to the new Big Boss. Meanwhile, the Board Chief has found himself boxed in by what he least expected: the Green politico who took him to his party head office for the media briefing, they say, is pressing for disciplinary action against him while the opposition politicos accuse him of carrying out a Green party contract!
