Referring to the recent incidents in Digana, Ampara and Thambuttegama, the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) Head Prof. G.L. Peiris said today such incidents took place as there was no effective Minister for Law and Order portfolio.

Addressing a news conference, he said it was sad to say that President Maithripala Sirisena had been unable to appoint a Law and Order Minister, who would bear and accomplish responsibilities for the well-being of society.

“President’s ineffectiveness of being unable to appoint a proper Law and Order Minister clearly denotes the inefficiency of the Government that leads to spark off violent incidents,” he said.

He said, it was the utmost responsibility of the President to appoint eligible Cabinet of Ministers who would be tasked with responsibilities,” Prof. G.L. Peiris said.

Meanwhile, he said Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe was entirely responsible to the downfall of the economy that had negatively affected the sustainable growth of the country.

He added that the official visit of Premier Wickremesinghe to Singapore was a joke and of no use, because the investors were not willing to invest in Sri Lanka on account of the failure of the economy. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

Pachaya Tuesday, 06 March 2018 03:15 PM

He knows if SF given the portfolio, UNP will loose 30% of the vote base they currently have. That's the ulterior motive.

What did Mahinda Rajapaksha as the President or GL Peiris as the Minister of Foreign and External Affairs do when Sajin de Vass Gunawardena, then Monitoring MP for the Ministry of External Affairs landed well respected Sri Lanka’s High Commissioner to United Kingdom, Chris Nonis with a weighty slap on his left cheek and right ear when the 123 member crew went to New York. Were you as the minister was effective???

Kalana Tuesday, 06 March 2018 03:20 PM

Dotard Tuesday, 06 March 2018 04:52 PM

Possible! GL was no where to be seen soon after the election results, while Raja was taking all the credit to become President and PM of LG bodies!!!

TJ Tuesday, 06 March 2018 03:26 PM

Exactly. This why we all want SF to takeover law and order ministry

Mahinda Tuesday, 06 March 2018 03:39 PM

Please appoint SF as the Minister. All those thugs will run away like mice and there will be no more riots.

Kahinda Wednesday, 07 March 2018 11:44 AM

Ad Tuesday, 06 March 2018 03:48 PM

Sincere Tuesday, 06 March 2018 03:54 PM

Either with the past experience he knows it well or he is a baby born after 2015.

don juan Tuesday, 06 March 2018 03:58 PM

Danu Tuesday, 06 March 2018 05:09 PM

This non stop anti government talk from this guy is seriously becoming too much. Jumping one group to another not doing anything of importance but just talk talk and incite trouble. The right hand of MR !!

Lokka Tuesday, 06 March 2018 05:52 PM

Only you guys have unrest due to out of power.

Robert Tuesday, 06 March 2018 06:36 PM

Please offer the Law and order ministry to our courageous leader Sarth Fonseka. He not only controls the current situation but also brings the people into the law of courts who swindle the country

Dee Tuesday, 06 March 2018 07:11 PM

So what's your recommendation ? White Vans?

Gayan Tuesday, 06 March 2018 07:27 PM

It worked no.

malij Tuesday, 06 March 2018 07:48 PM

The old codger is fishing in troubled waters again. People like GL and Kiriella should call it a day and retire from politics without making such idiotic and childish statements

Nana Tuesday, 06 March 2018 08:14 PM

Yes. That's why we need SF for the post. Tomorrow dont tell another story.

Don Wednesday, 07 March 2018 09:25 AM

All the unrest because of the HATE SPEECH by JO culprits and their supporters. Now police could arrest them during emergency for making racial remarks.

Freddy Yong Wednesday, 07 March 2018 09:37 AM

Oh, reality has just hit us all. Firstly - you bunch of idiots are the true architects of the present violence, Secondly, we can impress on the President to make you the Law
