Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa has called on President Anura Kumara Dissanayake to initiate legal action against media institutions involved in the drug trade, instead of making statements in Parliament.
“No need to make statements here. Arrest them. Initiate legal action. If a media institution is involved in drug peddling, initiate legal action,” MP Premadasa said in Parliament today.
He further said that the public is expecting answers and solutions, and not opposition-style politics.
“When they are unable to respond after giving false hopes and promises to the public, it is pointless to put on a show in Parliament. Don’t waste time with pointless statements,” MP Premadasa said.
The Opposition Leader further urged the government to conduct the Provincial Council Elections, instead of appointing a Parliamentary Select Committee.
“Use the old system and conduct the Provincial Council Elections. Protect democracy,” he added. (Newswire)
