    Most of the criminals and underworld gangsters are known to SLPP politicians so it is very easy to track them down

    Excellent idea, rounding up the parliament, giving them military training

    Ravi Friday, 05 March 2021 08:53 PM

    More like IS is actively looking for targets. Lets be careful.

    Ranmal Friday, 05 March 2021 08:54 PM

    Are the people of this country so silly to be hoodwinked by these kind of cheap political agendas? What a joke?

    A cat out of a 'bag' won't catch any mice because all the mice will go under ground. What a clown this man is.

    Firstly many of the God fathers are parliamentarians belongs to SLPP

    vince Friday, 05 March 2021 10:16 PM

    what a joker. He has already given the plot away by announcing soon and the criminals would have gone underground, fled the country or have moved in with the top knobs in parliament. They will catch the prats while the sharks have gone.

    At least half of the Policemen are involved in the crime of extortion. Now you are going to use them to catch the “criminals”.

    Looks like criminals are already protesting.

    Antony Jude Saturday, 06 March 2021 10:27 AM

    Look like you are a supporter of criminals in the government

    Bernard Saturday, 06 March 2021 04:53 PM

    If such culprits can be rounded -up within a week, one wonders the progress in the investigations regarding rouding-up of Arjun Mahendran and a one-time former Ambassador of Sri Laka to the USA who are still at large and absconding arrest but the latter being a nepotism man, there would be no further investigations.
