Prime Minister D. M Jayarathne should immediately resign or he should be arrested immediately if he fails to divulge the name of the official who had asked for the clearance of a container which had 131 Kg of heroin, the Jathika Hela Urumaya said.

Leader of the JHU Ven. Omalpe Sobhitha Thera yesterday said that the Prime Minister was duty bound to reveal the names of the officials who were involved in urging the release of the container.

“The Buddashasana Ministry is the centre for the destroying of Buddhism in the country. The Prime Minister should be arrested if he fails to provide details of these criminals working under him, he should not protect these people,” the monk told a gathering yesterday.

    Suq Madique Monday, 09 December 2013 11:18 AM

    Is he afraid to divulge the name because it could implicate him also?

    Adil Monday, 09 December 2013 11:23 AM

    If you want to find a smuggler, drug dealer, violent psychopath look in your nearest mosque. They will be praying.

    You are a respected politician in this country. So, do not tarnish your name by trying to evade. You cannot do it this time. You will not do it only if the culprit is connected to your big boss. The opposition in the parliament is sleeping for your luck or they themselves are trying to cover up.

    It seems you are out of sense.

    Das Monday, 09 December 2013 12:32 PM

    Nothing will/should happen. The PM being sacked will be bad for our image soon after CHOGM.

    Real Patriot Monday, 09 December 2013 12:34 PM

    What is opinion of BBS?

    Suq Madique Monday, 09 December 2013 11:18 AM

    Its a fair demand. Not revealing the name of the suspect is a crime and as the PM he should put his country first and not try to shelter friendly criminals. The drug menace is slowly eating up this country and must be stopped.

    Nihal Soori Monday, 09 December 2013 01:37 PM

    IF NOT JHU SHOULD COME OUT FROM THE GOVERNMENT?????????????????

    Nick Monday, 09 December 2013 02:50 PM

    jim pappa Tuesday, 10 December 2013 02:33 PM

    Maybe the official is just the tip of the iceberg.

    Christy Rajasuriar Thursday, 12 December 2013 06:27 AM

    Prime) Master should be held responsible for the acts of his faithful servants. He should serve sentence with his servants.

    Dharme Monday, 09 December 2013 10:15 AM

    May be he does not know what he signed !!!

    raspi Monday, 09 December 2013 07:52 AM

    joseph Monday, 09 December 2013 07:52 AM

    marikkar Monday, 09 December 2013 10:58 AM

    Age really matters. Our PM's age is not feasible to abide to his day to day duties. Strict age limit need to be adopted to involve in politics to stop such catastrophes of this nature due to human error. However, this venerable monk is trying to expose a truth.

    Honda Banda Monday, 09 December 2013 11:04 AM

    Yes on THIS occasion MP Sobitha is fully right.
