The JVP has questioned the reason for delays in carrying out orders issued by the President and has called for an inquiry into the matter.
JVP Central Committee member, parliamentarian Sunil Handunnetti said that there seems to be a delay in implementing orders issued by the President.
He observed that orders issued by other public officials are given precedence than those issued by the President.
Referring to last week’s clash in Weliweriya between security forces personnel and civilians, Handunnetti explained that the President had issued a directive to solve the drinking water problem faced by the Rathupaswala residents while the Defence Secretary had issued the order to shoot at the protestors.
“We believe that there needs to be a separate inquiry to determine the reason for the delay in carrying out the Presidential directive and the reason for giving precedence to a directive issued by a public official,” the JVP parliamentarian said.
