Karu wants influential voices to demand restoration of law and order
UNP MP Karu Jayasuriya called upon the religious leaders, including the maha sangha to take the lead to urge the government to take action against the increasing deterioration of law and order in the country.
Jayasuriya participating in the adjournment debate on alarming breakdown of law and order in the country, said the civil society leaders, professionals, and intellectual community must take a serious note of the current situation and must support the Opposition’s call to exhort the government to restore law and order to society.
“We have highlighted this threat against the society several times in this August assembly, but the government and law enforcement authorities did not heed our call. Now we see some of the results of this arrogance of not taking the warning seriously. The underworld operatives call the shots and they have become so powerful that the police and armed forces no longer are able to take action against these unscrupulous elements as the law breakers have the backing of senior government politicians”, the Co-deputy leader of the UNP said.
He said no action had been taken to bring to book those who are responsible for killing 12 journalists, assaulting some 30 other newsmen and the attackers of the Sirasa TV channel. “The culprits who destroyed and set fire to Siyatha TV channel are also still at large. We demand to know why the government cannot arrest these criminals. Does not this ignorance pave the way for the break down of civil administration in the country?”

Why…? Are they babala & Are they not influential..? If not that’s your fault, then go away & let some influential once may have your positions.! There’ll be some who have the influence.
These stupid politicians become beggars of socity if there’s an election & if they’ve no power.
Otherwise they just do what they want ignoring the socity.
The Wickremasinghe-Jayasuriya-Attanayake-Karunanayake company (called the Weak Jacks !!!!)has over the past decade, deteriorated from leading a amjaority Government to a single minority leadership in the Colombo Municipal Council.
In a westernn democratic system of Government, the opposition has the role of an alternative to the Government in power.
The Weak Jacks are primarily responsible for the state we are in at present where the democracy that we nurtured has now become a fiefdom.
Is the alternative to democracy now lies in the hands of the emerging rebel faction of the JVP?
Or are we going in for another long drawn bloodshed?

I agree with Guru that we do not have a strong opposition party to prevent ruling party’s excesses. In a healthy democracy we need a strong opposition for balance, to prevent government misbehaviour/excesses, through being drunk with power.
Isn’t it ridiculous that MR govt has the world’s biggest cabinet today, of mostly nincompoops who do pretty little worthwhile for the good of the people? He won the general election by more than 2/3rd majority but still gathered together into his ranks dissidents from other parties, by offering them cabinet posts as a bribe. He has boosted his ego thereby, as high as Mt Everest. What a waste of peoples’ money! What a loss to the country! There is no decent opposition to decry this. I lament for Motherlanka.
Criminals, like kudu Duminda, the rapist of a 13 yr old girl, was given shelter and a position of power in the UPFA. What a shame! Is this the govt the people voted for? People’s eyes will gradually open, as in my case. The exuberance of creditting MR/GR of having defeated the LTTE will wear-off in time.
MR-GR true nature can be judged by the company they keep, such as the criminal kudu Duminda. So far this criminal has been given protection from criminal investigation, of having plotted and killed Bharatha, a good socialist, by kudu D. Why? Is kudu D and his gang of villains being used by MR-GR to get rid of their ‘enemies’? They are then no better than JR and RP. The era of state terrorism has begun with the murder of Bharatha by kudu D, the evil criminal. LTTE terrorism has been replaced by MR-GR terrorism. Only the imperial West can bring them down, as Gaddafi was brought down. People will then rejoice in the streets as their bloodied bodies are dragged along the ground. Is this where MR-GR heading? Are they so drunk with power they cannot see their deficiencies?
NR is also being groomed on the same line to take over from pater-boy one day. This nincompoop has already shown his ignorant hand by splitting Sinharaja forest in two, with a road through it, to the hotel being built at the edge of the forest. What tragedy? SL is being deprived of a valuable asset of a small primeval forest which is a habitat for some rare plants and wild life found exclusively only in this forest. It is too late for UNESCO to step in as the damage has already been done in mindless haste.
