මාවනැල්ලේ ඇතිවූ විනාශයට වගකිව යුත්තෝ කවරහුද?
Ivan argues that the government nurtured thuggish regional bosses such as Minister Mahipala Herath over educated figures like Jagath Balasuriya, and that the Mawanella violence began when his henchmen, long extorting locals with police protection, tied the cashier of the Sahira Hotel to the Premadasa statue and slashed his face. He cites other PA politicians evading arrest, including D.M. Dassanayake and Janaka Bandara Tennakoon, and the President’s refusal to reinstate Parry Liyanage.
දේශපාලකයන් සිටිය යුත්තේ නීතියට ඉහළින් ද?
PA MP Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra held a concert on the Angoda mental hospital grounds in defiance of a court order, and a PA local councillor accused of stripping a woman in the North Western election has evaded arrest, prompting a notice on the Katupotha police chief. The editorial says the President sets the example, citing her failure to implement a court order reinstating Parry Liyanage after his acquittal in the Embilipitiya case.
