It is a surprise if nobody saw it.”   However, referring to the ‘B report’ submitted by the Galle OIC to  the Galle Magistrate, the Chief Opposition Whip said that the police  were unaware of such a vessel and that it was birthed at the harbor.   The minister responded saying: “I think you have not been properly  notified regarding the fact. I cannot believe that the police did not  see this. That is not what happened.”   “The police jumped in to gain points as soon as the government  changed, similar to the raid on Millennium City in 2002. That’s the  reality.”   “I don’t understand why any misconduct cannot be shown if there is any misconduct,” Marapana said.-අද දෙරණ</blockquote>
