He can order for a special inquiry; that too carried out by some one in uniform!

Daya Sunday, 31 July 2011 09:11 AM

That means investigation is yet to conduct. Did MR request a police investigation report on Lasamtha,s killing, and abduction of Prageeth Eknaligoda?

Yehiya-Doha Sunday, 31 July 2011 08:04 AM

don't arrest any innocent man again.

why should MR order everything. Every time, the president orders for an investigation, that symbolically means, do not investigate
