Before the final report is written CID officials may have to get the views of the person who called the probe.

This will be another drama to hoodwink the nation and the world. All are part and parcel of Pandora.

The same fate of the Easter Sunday attacks will be for the BC probe report.

Good move. However, only investigating is not sufficient. Need to take action against the perpetrators, if found guilty.

Don't trap to this. It is a family planned drama! Nothing will happen in the end.

Perhaps GOTA should look in his backyard first.

The charges are levelled against his close family members. Doesn't even warrant saying, this is just an eye wash to appease gullible opponents and blind loyalists.

THIS IS A JOKE PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY IS IN THE NET. HE IS APPOINTING OWN PEOPLE A COMMISSION TO PROBE THE ISSUE. SO OUR "MEE HARKS "CAN LISTEN AND DIGEST

Will the Rajapaksas are still alive when this probe (like the BOND SCAM and Easter Sunday massacre) is over?
