Jun 09, 2017
When a powerful minister in the government inquired from IGP Pujith Jayasundara as to why Bodu Bala Sena General Secretary Galagodaatte Gnanasara Thera was not being arrested for having submitted fake medical certificates to the court of appeal and evaded courts, the police chief said, “Sir, how can Gnanasara be arrested? Our justice minister Mr. Wijayadasa Rajapakshe is protecting him.”
The IGP said further, “Big-shots in the government strike various deals. In the end, we are blamed for everything. If we are allowed to do our duty without any interference, we know what to do.”
He told the minister that the attack on a Muslim business place at Maharagama was over an insurance matter. However, after he was shown by the businessman the relevant CCTV camera footage, the minister told the IGP to arrest the persons responsible. Accordingly, the suspects were arrested yesterday.
