Laws to curb emergence of terror groups needed – PM
Posted by Editor on May 31, 2019 - 1:45 pm
New laws including regulations to control hate speech should be introduced soon to prevent the emergence of new terror groups in the future, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said yesterday.
Premier Wickremesinghe was speaking at a ceremony held in Ampara to distribute Samurdhi relief to over 600,000 families. He said the attorney general and the justice ministry was currently taking measures on the above matter.
The Prime Minister said the National Thawheed Jamaath (NTJ) and other groups supporting IS terrorism have been nabbed but new groups could emerge in future. He said therefore new laws to stop the emergence of new terrorist groups were necessary.

Mr. Incompetent, please spare us your cockamamie nonsense. We have enough laws as it is to control hate, advocating violence/death against others, etc. speech, and punish such extremists, but in your case since you came to power you and your present Govt of SL had no interest in applying them against the then budding Muslim terrorists groups because you and your party did not want to alienate the, traditionally majority allied to your party, Muslim voter base and so when the likes of NTJ was preaching, openly through their mosques, death to non-Muslim “infidels,” you did nothing! We are not stupid to not realize that you are now simply trying to find scapegoats for your now-proven colossal blunders.
You the senile, you did not show any remorse when so many people including young children. Hope you will rot in hell when you pass away. You are a disgrace to the human beings. Only interest is yourself and to hold to power.
The above comments the responsibility should be placed on the President refer FR petition by the IGP
