IP Rangajeewa had filed an appeal at the ‘IGP Help Desk’ to reinstate him.

    Oh! Now we see the real face of this rouge government. Need to be nipped in the bud before it is too late.

    DO THIS POLITICAL COLORS APPLY TO COURTS AND PRISONS ALSO ......... (I ALSO WANT TO KILL A COUPLE OF MY ENEMIES)

    When a public officer faces a criminal charge, he has to be interdicted until the courts absolve him. (If he is found guilty he will of course lose his job). No way can he be reinstated on the strength of granting bail. Over to you, NPC.

    So the cover up has been started in earnest. Earlier it was only a warning to CID and IP Nishantha Silva to go easy on the culprits. Heaven help Sri Lnka - if possible that is.

    Warren Raed Thursday, 22 November 2018 10:15 AM

    Big boss is back at work again. All the crimes of the previous regime is being swept under the carpet. Inspector who is investigating the crimes of the previous regime is being transferred from the CID while a criminal is being reinstated. Wow!

    No,this is not acceptable by any measure. If this new government is going to be this outrageous within few weeks,what would happen later. I don’t want foreign intervention but there is no other alternative.

    Good cop reinstated! Well done!

    Please do not insult the good officers of the Police Force who are in the majority unlike the Yes Sir IGP et al.

    Hmmm if this keeps up, they might even find a way to overturn Duminda Silva’s verdict and reinstate him. Arrests and pardons seem to be subjective to ones political affiliations. But I’m sure he’d be back in jail once they lose the general elections next year

    This is the difference between the Yahapalanaya and FakeGovt. Criminal who carried out around 40 deaths of prisoners has come out

    Pradeep Friday, 23 November 2018 07:03 AM

    The difference is the foot dragging Yahapalana and the lightening speed of MR band. Does this confirm that MS was the speed breaker in the Yahapalana? RW should have told the truth to the world.

    jeffaloy Thursday, 22 November 2018 01:16 PM

    MR back in action and he has already started the game, next will be Presidential pardon to Duminda and Gnanasara Thero, Hats off to MS. Clean Democracy in Sri Lanka. Can the normal citizen enjoy this type of privilege?

    Gune Thursday, 22 November 2018 02:18 PM

    Between a western conspiracy and a MR/ Gota conspiracy I will select a western consnspiracy any day to the muck we have to face with an m MR regime.
