I wonder why the cry for the death penalty for drug offenders only in prisons. What about the offenders outside prisons? The pushers, smugglers and the drug lords in and outside parliament?

This is not 'Middle-East' Rules. That is Islamic rule practiced in the Middle-East for selective issues, not entirely.

Good idea. We will start from honourable members of parliament. Kelaniya first and then from Colombo district.
