Video: Keheliya explains failure to arrest Malaka

Thursday, 13 September 2012 23:13

Cabinet Spokesman Keheliya Rambukwella said on Thursday that Malaka Silva, the son of Minister Mervyn Silva who was wanted in connection with the assault on an Army major had not been arrested while he was at the Kelaniya Temple as the police would have felt that arresting him in the sacred precincts of the Kelaniya Temple was not proper.

“Police would have thought that arresting him in the presence of the Sacred Relics was not etiquette,” he said.

The minister was replying to a question by a journalist as to why the two special police teams that had been deployed to arrest Malaka Silva, had not arrested him when he was at the Kelaniya Temple.( Ajantha Kumara Agalakada)

Since when is it not appropriate anywhere in the world not apprehend a criminal in a place or worship? Is he making his own rules?.

-16+3 # Chamath 2012-09-14 11:46

Minister Keheliya is absolutely correct.

-0+19 # Sorry dot com 2012-09-14 11:53

Keheliya sounds so much like Mahadanamutta.

-0+4 # Slcitizen 2012-09-14 11:55

So he means to say that criminals can avoide arrest by being at temple or sacred area

-0+8 # mithraya 2012-09-14 12:00

Will the same apply to an innocent Citizen!! Keheliya should say this to "Kondey Bandapu Cheenunta"

-0+5 # Kerawalapiiye Cheena 2012-09-14 13:15

Unfortunately, there are so many "Kondey Bandapu Cheenuns" when the voting time comes! no matter what these type ministers say, the cheenas will always vote for same 'dhobi'

-0+7 # kirala 2012-09-14 12:07

So, when an arrest warrant has been issued on a criminal, there are two ways to avoid being arrested.

1) Claim he cannot remember what happened.
2) Go to a temple.

Dear Mr Rambukwella - dont try to cover up. If it had been an ordinery citizen, but now he would have been caught, tortured or maybe even dead so why the discrimination. The rule should be the same for all be it a minister's son or the ordinary citizens. Wake up Mr Rambukwella and speak the truth.

Despite all the obvious lies and corruption, people will continue to vote for this government. Why wasn't his vehicle followed and the arrest made after he left the temple? Maybe they turned the Silva residence into a sacred place? We may all laugh calling this bullshit, but the sad part is that 60% of the local population will believe this and hail the police.

Once, Saddam Hussein's son Uday beat up the entire Iraqi Football team when they failed to qualify for the World Cup.

From all the comments one can see that people are totally disgusted abot this Malaka fellow's matter - and are now gradually losing faith in the government - including the President who has so far been held in high esteem by the people. The President and Mr Gotabhaya must immediately intervene and order that this Malaka fellow is arrested without any further delay and without any interference from his father, and get him locked up for good once and for all. I have been an ardent supporter of Mahinda Rajapakse - even before he became President - but I am gradually losing my faith in him and his government. This Malaka fellow's incident could be a turning point for the President and his government for his lack of action against this thug. I ernestly request the President and his brother Mr Gotabhaya to immediately order the arrest of this Malaka fellow and his other thugs and imprison them without bail.

Oh I forgot the employment of the family just to trot out stupid lies, not bad for a idiot polevaulter to be making a million Rupees a month.The president got the relics to accumilate merit for all the thuggery and stealing that is going on as never before. Even the colonial rulers did not steal the way the Rajapakses do.The vote base for these hoodlums is the rural villages who live in a time warp and do not know how to use their vote , and the people do not ever refer to WE THE PEOPLE and the politicians are there to represent the people

Do you mean it is disrespectful to Budhism if a criminal is arrested within near the tooth relic.

Do you ean any one can commit crimes within a Budhist holy place and the law should be amended to allow them go free.

What kind of educational bacground do you have.

How can we accept you asa minister if you make such headless statement.
