The Leader of the Opposition, Hon. Sajith Premadasa, used his brief speaking time to call on Hon. Ananda Wijepala to immediately contact the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to demand that anyone connected to the crimes under discussion be investigated and arrested, with the rule of law upheld. He pledged the Opposition's full support for such action.

Thank you for giving me half a minute. I see Hon. Ananda Wijepala on a telephone call. Please, in the same way, call the IGP now and convey this. If anyone is connected to these crimes, conduct investigations, arrest them, and implement the process of justice and the rule of law. We will give full support.
