Does this include the politicians who interfered with arrests for destruction of Buddhist statues and associates of Easter bombings?

The IGP is imagining that the people are very stupid and gullible to believe that the Police Force is a decent and respectful organisation manned by incorruptible public servants.

check your own hand to see whether you have written orders, such as whom in custody to kill , from politicians on your palm

"The IGP is imagining that the people are very stupid and gullible"-----Yes they are stupid and submissive to tolerate this kind of abuse and corruption. That is why SL remain "developing" for ever. Actually it is going the other way

Kirulapone police is the worst. There is no hidden hand. Thugs instruct the police what to do. OIC is worst.

The IGP is still in the kindegarten stage of learning. What a national joke these guys are.

We see 21st century Archimedes. Anyway, you have the guts to say it loud. We appreciate it. You told the problem, so tell us the solution. But make sure you have the seat.

Whose are those hidden hands? Your guess is as good as ours!
