A fear psychosis is present in the North and crime rate is rising in Jaffna, Minister Douglas Devananda informed Parliament today.

Thereafter Opposition UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe asked Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa to take steps to send an All Party Delegation to assess the situation in Jaffna.

Mr. Wickremesinghe made this request soon after Minister Douglas Devananda raised concern about the rising crime wave in Jaffna.

The Opposition Leader said this was a serious development and demanded that a full-day debate be conducted in the House in this regard. He said he would take up the matter at the party leaders’ meeting. (KB/YP)

    It is not only after victory even before victory during Prabha's time people in the north were psychologically down as he proved to be a killer maniac.
    Spark get the facts straight.

    Agreed, but, don't expect a society free of (100%) those mal practices. (WickyLeaks cable is the closest example)

    Razor Blade Wednesday, 05 January 2011 06:54 AM

    Minister Douglas, these are social issues exists all round the world. Need to minimize though.

    Unfortunately the people of Jaffna is undergoing all kinds of traumatic experience since 1976.They never had and have a true leader.Even this fear psychosis is created by the vested interested parties.In spite of huge presence of army and police from Southern region , the people are under the fear.It is a national shame.the president should directly involve in this problem and clear the mess.other wise many decades would be lost. Jaffna is an integrated part of the nation and why this kind of problem has cropped up.Instead of discussing the issue, the government should firmly catch all those criminals and those who patronize them with out a delay

    There are no "Powerful State actors" looking for a Booty. This sounds more like the Samurdhi Man tying himself to the tree and making the Minister in that case, falsly implicated and tying himself in knots! Dougy baby devolves power and fully delegates them to all his minions. He would not know anything. Suku Baba So he wants someone else to investigate and clear him of all "false" charges (sorry wild accusations)

    habt Tuesday, 04 January 2011 07:11 PM

    Dougy is phychosis as he does not know what happend in the past.

    YURI Tuesday, 04 January 2011 06:25 PM

    Indian court is badly looking for oyu, if you fal in india Habd, then things will stop. Whi you trying to make fool

    Kane Tuesday, 04 January 2011 06:15 PM

    pasel Tuesday, 04 January 2011 05:35 PM

    Kotte Kusum. Tuesday, 04 January 2011 05:25 PM

    He is loosing control of his men. Lost friendship or double crossing.

    sam Tuesday, 04 January 2011 03:40 PM

    You are very correct spark!! Or it could be a "drama" organised by the "very top" , who is the major share holder of the ARK Co. (Abduction, Ransom, and Kill Co.)

    Yehiya-Doha Tuesday, 04 January 2011 02:53 PM

    Your silent is major suspious.

    BOB Tuesday, 04 January 2011 02:46 PM

    Hi Duggy..you try to controll this inocent people, and puting blame to security forces...nice joke(2011)

    Lanka Pattas Tuesday, 04 January 2011 02:27 PM

    Totally agree with you. Please read Wikileaks and it gives in details how these happen and who is behind it.

    cracko Tuesday, 04 January 2011 01:45 PM

    Read Wikileaks? Look who is talking!

    malkanthi Tuesday, 04 January 2011 11:05 AM

    Yes 'Come or go Chicago' seem the solution to all issues!

    bash Tuesday, 04 January 2011 12:45 PM

    Look who is talking..... Douglas has become a very good southern politician, seasoned well after being in this within a short time.... real hypocrite

    viv Tuesday, 04 January 2011 12:23 PM

    The man responsible for all bad things in north is you,

    You can escape now but god will definitely give his verdict one day

    NADARAJAH SETHURUPAN Tuesday, 04 January 2011 12:34 PM

    Yes because of you fear psychosis in North.

    Saradial Tuesday, 04 January 2011 11:55 AM

    Since you are a cabinet ministor why don't you complain to defense ministor (MR)?

    Konde bendapu china Tuesday, 04 January 2011 11:54 AM

    Minister Dougy,First of all discipline your guys properly then everything will be all right

    M.R.Percige_Putha Tuesday, 04 January 2011 11:30 AM

    We thank you for your valuable contribution.

    Matilda Tuesday, 04 January 2011 11:28 AM

    Douglas says tnere is a fear psychosis in the North but the police say law and order prevails there. Whom to believe ,child?

    spark Tuesday, 04 January 2011 11:27 AM

    It is scrounging time for all after the victory. This lamb is bleating because he is getting short changed of his share of the booty by the more powerful state actors.

    Adi Tuesday, 04 January 2011 11:20 AM

    This consequence was inevitable when releasing thousands of LTTE detainees from the Government Camps. No use to cry now.

    Ranjith Tuesday, 04 January 2011 11:25 AM

    A full day deate in the parliement is not what is needed. law and order should be maintained in the North, by the police and the army or whoever can do that

    Dave Tuesday, 04 January 2011 11:19 AM

    Sounds like a typical case of "Pinching the child and rocking the cradle". May be Duggy is trying to act as if he doesn't have any knowledge about it..funny!

    willows Tuesday, 04 January 2011 11:18 AM

    you are in it??? don't hide yourself

    Fayad Tuesday, 04 January 2011 11:19 AM

    You too are responsible for the fear psychosis in the North, South, East & West.

    lankaputha Tuesday, 04 January 2011 11:10 AM

    UNP is fishing in mud water, and TNA and tamils MPs are now making a psycho when tamils do crimes as they want the SL ARMY to be there stop crimes and terrorism. Good move.
