This killer gang is a disgrace to the good name of our Mother Lanka.It should be unceremoniously bundled out and produced in courts for deterrent punishments.They also should be stripped off their portfolios and membership cancelled forthwith as a warning to others.No mercy should be shown to party affiliations . If you do Mr. President, you will rise far above JR and RP.
No one is above the law. Irrespective of their position within the ruling party all criminals should be prosecuted and sentenced. This criminal should not be allowed to escape justice.
