Western Province Senior DIG Anura Senanayake on Monday told Court that going by the trust and confidence people had placed in him, he could easily be able to secure over 300,000 preferential votes from the Colombo district if he contested an election. 
 
He said the people would also endorse him to serve the Police Department even for 100 years if he lived to reach that age. He said he decided to refrain from conducting investigations into the BASL president’s complaint since the BASL president raised some doubts regarding his involvement in the matter. He said no one should doubt regarding his investigations since he had rendered yeoman service to the country.
 
 “I was deeply shocked after hearing that Mr. Jayasuriya was not keen over my on going investigations. I am telling the truth. I didn’t take advice from anyone to handle this case. At the same time no one has given me any instructions to handle the matter in accordance with their wishes.  I wrote to the IGP stating that I want to refrain from conducting investigations into the incident for personal reasons. Then the mater was handed over to Senior DIG Gamini Nawaratne”, he said.  (Lakmal Sooriyagoda and T. Farook Thajudeen)

    He should not talk politics while in service. Sarath Fonseka was found fault for talking politics while in service.

    In the country known as Sri Lanka and under our heroic President from Medamullana, yes.

    nandasena Tuesday, 12 August 2014 09:00 AM

    If he had said that he will contest from UNP, most of these comments will not be there. He will be a good guy.

    May be he is right, since he knows how to rig polls and A to Z of how the present polticians win elections.

    cracko Tuesday, 12 August 2014 06:50 AM

    First he should find out whether his family member will vote for him... People's Franchise, taken for granted...

    Another LIAR exposed by his own words!

    bernard Tuesday, 12 August 2014 06:25 AM

    Sad that such a deluded man is in charge of Colombo police.

    malkanthi Tuesday, 12 August 2014 06:22 AM

    oviya Tuesday, 12 August 2014 06:21 AM

    most suitable person to common candidate......

    Navin Tuesday, 12 August 2014 02:01 AM

    Anura Senanayakes boast that he can garner 300,000 votes from Colombo district if he contests an election and his assumption that people will endorse his services for hundred years shows the mans inflated ego. This man should have been retired long ago and not be given so many extensions. Shows the power he has been given and used by politicians for their nefarious services

    Rizwan Tuesday, 12 August 2014 11:41 AM

    I told you he is a politician

    chandra weerasinghe Tuesday, 12 August 2014 06:11 AM

    Easier said than done!! How about the people who got assaulted in various areas he served !! chandrasiri

    Calistus Jayatilleke Tuesday, 12 August 2014 05:57 AM

    Shows the extent to which the police service is politicised under this corrupt government. The cops are always thinking of becoming politicians or ambassadors. And thats why they have become slaves of the ruling politicians.

    Renu Tuesday, 12 August 2014 05:44 AM

    Yes it will be 300000 peanut for his service to the family

    Peace Lover Tuesday, 12 August 2014 05:42 AM

    Does this mean he is eyeing to become a politician. 300,000 votes, he must be dreaming. Actually speaking nobody likes him because of this Pada Show and Ego, even his juniors.

    what2do Tuesday, 12 August 2014 05:31 AM

    This man is day dreaming.

    mohamed asfar Tuesday, 12 August 2014 05:04 AM

    sara Tuesday, 12 August 2014 05:04 AM

    This guy is the worst DIG in sri Lankan police history. Going behind gota and say yes sir yes sir three bag full sir.

    Public Tuesday, 12 August 2014 04:58 AM

    Truth man Tuesday, 12 August 2014 04:20 AM

    TD Tuesday, 12 August 2014 04:19 AM

    Everybody has detractors in any society. So is Anura Senanayaka. Carry on your good service Mr.Senanayaka.

    sri Tuesday, 12 August 2014 07:55 AM

    Are his comments befitting to that of a person holding the post of DIG

    Kossa Tuesday, 12 August 2014 07:49 AM

    Yes 300000 votes using his connections in the corridors of power and the not so famous pathaley to get votes by hook or crook. Knowing people know who are we are. via DM iPad app
