The JVP today said that the most unfortunate situation is that the country’s Minister for Buddha Sasana and Religious Affairs, who is also the Prime Minister, has become the main respondent in importing large quantities of heroin into Sri Lanka.

A container filled with heroin, weighing more than 5 bags of cement, was brought into the country through a Pakistani drug kingpin with aid of the Prime Minister, JVP Propaganda Secretary Vijitha Herath said.
 
At least he should have the decency to express his regret and step down if he was knowingly or unknowingly involved in such a criminal act, he told reporters in Colombo today.

The Prime Minister must make a confession to the country and seek forgiveness for this crime, which he was knowingly or unknowingly involved in, he said.

The JVP Parliamentarian said that not only the Prime Minister but the entire government should seek forgiveness from the people of Sri Lanka. “However, no such thing will happen today,” he said.

“The Prime Minister is importing heroin while the Wellampitiya OIC is distributing it,” Herath charged, adding that this had led to the emergence of an astonishing nation. “That is the Miracle.”

The Prime Minister, Buddha Sasana Minister is importing container loads of heroin into the country and the Police OIC is distributing it to the village, he said.
