Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe has said attacking Independent Commissions and Courts system will hamper efforts against drug eradication in the country.
The Prime Minister also said the Courts cannot be treated like a football and if baseless statements are made in parliament its negative effects will be borne by the people.
He made these comments at the opening of the ‘Lakhiru Sevana’ public housing complex in Maligawatta yesterday (12).
Further commenting on the issue the Prime Minister said drugs only have been controlled and not been eradicated yet. “Do we continue or hamper the efforts?” he questioned. According to the Prime Minister when the drug issues became severe during 2015 and 2016 he had recommended more funds for the Police to heighten their efforts. “However they said what was needed is an independent judiciary” he recalled. The Prime Minister said the Police believed that drug busting efforts can be successful through this and independent commissions.
