TA was arrested for forgery and appreciate it. But in the meantime, I would like to know the reason for not arresting Champika Ranawakka who had forged a photograph and displayed it during election campaign. Can anyone answer me please?

He was arrested because he produced a forged document indicating as a secret agreement between the hon president and the hon prime minister. hope that our people will not be taken on a ride by claiming this arrest as a political revenge. The ugliest and the most ruthless political revenge was committed by the former president against the general. via DM Android App
