UNP Gampaha District MP Karu Jayasuriya has voiced serious concern at the alarming deterioration of the law and order situation in the country.
Referring to the recent killing in Kahawatte of a mother and daughter as well as the attempt to abduct the Chairman of the Kolonnawa Urban Council, Ravindra Udayashantha, the MP said that said that remaining silent at this juncture, as an elected representative of the people, would be to betray the trust and confidence they have placed in me.
“There is a growing trend in authoritarianism, which, if allowed to continue would end the semblance of good governance and democracy,” he said in a statement to the media.
The UNP MP added that it is time every right thinking citizen of this country lawfully express their discontent before the little law and order prevailing in the country is lost. “ Otherwise, the deafening silence of some, for their personal gain or otherwise, will be contributing to a rapidly deteriorating situation. They will be aiding and abetting in the early demise of the rule of law,” he added.
