Government should question the former president about critical statement on national security to the foreign media – Chameera Perera

Apr 24, 2017

Addressing the press conference held at CSR Left Centre Co-convener Chameera Perera criticized the former President Mahinda Rajapakse’s statement on national security and urged government to take immediate action to question the former president about critical statement on national security to the foreign media.

“If the former president failed to describe the reason about the failure of national security network he would deliberately destabilizing the government. During his period he has taken action to arrest the Asad Sali on his statement given to India about national security. Therefore we urge government to apply the same theory to former president and question him.”

 “The former president exposed to the media he was unable to solve the Meethotamulla dumping garbage issue due o the war of the country. We believed that former president under the amnesia condition as he forgot the war was ended in 2009 and Meethotamulla dumping Garbage Mountain started in 2009 under his regime with the court order given disgraced former Chief Justice Sarath N. Silva,” said Perera at the press conference organized by the COC (Citizen Organizations Collective)

Chamara Nakalanda, convener of Parapuraka Balaya said government should follow the proper scientific method rather than following out dated process like open dumping.
