A golden option is available for this MP. Cross over to government to strengthen MR's hand, you will be saved from Police action.

Irrespective of party the Hambantota voters should think twice before electing such a person as a MP. the Police should take action against anyone who breaks the law. What will happen is that the ruling party will do a deal to cross over and the incompetant Police by waiting for political instuctions of their master will be too late to charge the MP OR the other passengers.

unfortunately ones with kilos of stuff dont meet this fate since they are well backed up.

Sonali De Silva Wednesday, 28 November 2012 02:55 AM

What about the MP? I suppose the guns, bullets and ganja belonged to the driver. Maybe both driver and boss were high on ganja when they crashed.

ICCStats Wednesday, 28 November 2012 03:56 AM

at the same time we should not forget that folk like Duminda, Doctor Merv, et al started from the UNP

Andrew Pitugala Wednesday, 28 November 2012 04:02 AM

It will be lovely if more politicians go through similar experiences and that the Govt. does not differentiate bet ween Govt. and Opposition in exposing them.

Roshan Wednesday, 28 November 2012 04:57 AM

Good time to crossover, all charges will go underground.

People get the MPs they vote for and they are voting for these goons.

Ram Perera Tuesday, 27 November 2012 09:12 PM

The MP must answer. He is the master and he is responsible even if the ganja belonged to any other in the car

Its like a impeachment. Well orgnized by state sector.

Raiz Langai Wednesday, 28 November 2012 12:21 AM

This is how low the country had gone down to. Thugs drug barons not intellectual are in the supreme assembly of the people. If proven this person is guilty of the crime, He should be sacked and not taken by any other party. The media has role to play. Hope the media and other like minded organisations take the first step from here and eradicate this menace and all other menace.

They are diplomats from the MR Regime and hence they are all immune from all prosecutions. The person who found the ganja will be questioned and maybe transferred.
