    He should have done this long before.

    nalin Friday, 03 June 2011 09:08 AM

    If he was to retire in June why was he appointed recently as IGP? I think that it was just that he resigned or was he pressured to resign? Well this country is going to the dogs and the people are made a flock of fools.. Sinhalaya modaya Kavum kanna yodaya.. so this saying is so true. People come out of your blindness and see the light.. see where politicians are cheating you and the mother nation? Nothings lasts and one day soon all these thugs will be by gone.. We need a ruler who actually loves his country and his prople.. not love himself and family only.. No law an order in the country .. police force is supposed to be our friend and protector but they are our foes.. curruption no compassion for the people when we get copped for nothng and politicians break all the traffic laws in the country they have a blind eye.. We need a person who loves his people to rule and develop and a police chief who can stand FIRM with out fear and just be a puppet on strings...

    Thambi Friday, 03 June 2011 09:43 AM

    Don't worry soon he will be appointed in Diplomatic services and send as an Ambassador to another country

    What do you mean.....?

    ajith Friday, 03 June 2011 11:31 AM

    Back to square one...This is all because of governments foolish act...."The Private sector Pension Scheme".
    They lost credibility,faith,popularity of the common mass.
    It showed the nude of the rulers how cheap they are..
    .Now they are worse than rouges in white attire.
    if they have shame they will never bring this act.
    It will fail,fail and fail.....

    silva Friday, 03 June 2011 11:34 AM

    He kept blind eye to all government unlawful behavior. Now became a victim of poor government policy. This will happen to other henchmen as well. Sorry No sympathy
