Unveiling Politician-Underworld Nexus: NPP’s Bold Promise

News Today: NPP Leader’s Shocking Revelation at Gampaha District Youth Convention

NPP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake yesterday claimed that the underworld has been nurtured and protected by politicians over the years. Speaking at the NPP’s Gampaha District youth convention, he emphasized the necessity of strict laws against narcotics and weapons to prevent crime in Sri Lanka.

Dissanayake stated that the underworld currently reigns in the country and can only be curbed through proper Law and Order. He highlighted historical instances where politicians have protected notorious underworld figures, such as Gonawala Sunil, who was given a presidential pardon by then President J.R. Jayewardene and awarded the honorary position of Justice of Peace. Soththi Upali was appointed to the UNP’s Working Committee during former President Ranasinghe Premadasa’s time. Beddagane Sanjeewa was made head of security for former President Chandrika Kumaratunge, while Mahinda Rajapaksa protected Hambantota Wambotta. Julampitiye Amare was seen protecting Namal Rajapaksa on stage.

Dissanayake assured that if the NPP government is elected, they will ensure Law and Order and create an environment conducive to peace and stability. He mentioned that a team of senior and prominent ex-CID officials is collaborating with the NPP, whose knowledge and experience will be invaluable in tackling these issues.
