Defending the arrangements made for the funeral of former minister Arumugam Thondaman, UNP National Organiser Navin Dissanayake said yesterday it would have been difficult to practice quarantine laws at a state funeral.
He told a news conference that the security forces did their best to maintain them.
“The late Mr. Thondaman was a minister and a person who had done some service to the estate sector. Therefore there is no issue in according him a state funeral. However it is difficult to practice formalities of a state funeral by practicing quarantine laws.,” Mr. Dissanayake said.
“Attacking him on the social media is not advisable,” he said. (Yohan Perera)
