Baratha Lakshman Premchandra’s daughter Hirunika called for the immediate arrest of MP Duminda Silva who returned to the island.
“I’m not saying that he should be arrested and thrown in jail if he is actually suffering from some kind of ailment, but he should be at least kept under Police custody wherever he is. That is the law of this country and I have faith in the law,” she said.
The outspoken Hirunika said according to the law of this land an accused should be arrested as soon as he arrives in the country.
“He should have been arrested at the airport after he was named as an accused by the Attorney General. We have learnt that he is currently at a private hospital he should either be arrested or he should surrender to the courts,” she said.
