Sri Lanka government in an attempt to undermine the killing of JVP activists

Propaganda secretary of Sri Lanka's major opposition United National Party (UNP) asked the Defense Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa to resign since the police has failed to arrest the culprits of a shoot out in Katuwana in which two members of the opposition People's Liberation Front (JVP) died.

Samaraweera said that the police has so far not arrested anybody although police has been given information regarding the suspects involved in the attack. Samaraweera accused that the government is in an attempt to undermine the incident.

Marxist JVP politburo member Anura Kumara Disanayaka speaking to media today accused the government is providing safety to the culprits of the shooting incident.

Addressing a media briefing yesterday the Disanayaka urged the police to arrest and produce the culprits in court immediately. He also named a suspect called Julampitiye Amare. Share this article
