WHAT !! Only one complaint? What about the string of complaints the SLPP goons claimed to have? Even this complaint has nothing to do with helping extremists.

Why don't the Opposition MPs behind the no confidence motion against Badhurdeen give their complaints in writing for proper investigation. If not they would turn out to be false.

How can Sampath state that the CWE had supplied poor quality food items only to the Sinhalese businessmen? Isn't he a racist?

Unless "fake news", media has mentioned Wilpattu housing for displaced persons, requests to army commander to release terror suspect, Sharia University with financial implications, to name a few. Yet no complaints??

The investigating aurhorities should not place the responsibility in the hands of the people. Investigating unquestioning those who accused the ministers and facts available in the media is their duty. Find evidence.
