Government should instruct authorities to take actions on national security – Mahinda

Leader of Opposition Mahinda Rajapaksa says the incumbent government should instruct the authorities to take actions on the country’s security.
He stated this addressing the special parliamentary session convened this afternoon (23).
When the 30-year war came to an end on May 2009, no one expected terrorism to resurface.
It is regrettable that attacks as such occurred when the 10-year celebration of the defeat of the terrorist organization LTTE was nearing, he says.
Even the LTTE had carried out simultaneous terror attacks, however, they could not cause a calamity as severe as this, he further says.
Opposition Leader added that how terrorism resurfaced in the country should be heeded.

Mr Rajapaksa,
Thank you.
But you are now totally irrelevant. You are a broken vinyl record which plays over and over again.
Like yesterday in Parliament, you read the rubbish written by GLP; there was nothing new, no new ideas and only a call to the Govt to resign. Pretty boring stuff from a leader with all your experience.
You are not the leader of the SLFP and not sure if you are member of SLPP or leader.
Your only followers are the old ladies in the Buddhist Temples that you visit regularly.
RW gave you Opposition Leader post to keep you under control.
Isn’t it time to retire and disappear?
