Imagine,if it had happen to a common man! Everything could happen under the sun nowadays, when caught on an offence one has excuses and thereafter everything goes under the 'carpet' and then a total silence!!

When the VIP politicians do it on a massive scale, obviously those who follow them also dabble in drug trades on a small scale. But the law is enforced only on the small fry whilst the top people like the Prime Minister go scot free blaming others for their follies.

Since heroin is coming from Muslim countries, the king pins in this trade are Muslims and they are known as Hadjiars who are flooded in Kolonnawa. The OIC is a sprat. It is transported by fully body covered women.

Our police watching the Indian moves and our police apply on reality.
Good Old days Sri Lankan police were well respected and they do not involve in any illegal issues.
Now police has gone to dogs from top brass to bottom PC. All need to robe or act in illegal way to earn money or keep our cheap politician happy.
What a country, but I am sure our leader MR and his Bro Gota can wipe this, if they act honestly, where they finished the 30 year war.
This is worst than a war and this is like cancer. So please help our country erupt these evil things.

At least the arrest was made in this case. Many others are hidden and no one knows. Publicity is the only way to stop these crimes. Pray for the law & order in this little Island!!

Our social fabric is full of crimes. No point scolding only the politicians. Its the pople who elected them, Its the same people who go behind them for undue favors, Its the same people who scold them. As partiotic citizens, do the right thing. Then everybody will follow you. Be a Laxman Kadiragamar, be a R K W Gunasekera, be a Chandra Jayaratne, ...... in your small way.

Kennedy"
