Expose Cocaine users without wasting time: Nalin tells Ranjan
State Minister Ranjan Ramanayake should produce the names of ministers and MPs who are in the habit of taking cocaine in a bid to close the case without further delay, Deputy Minister Nalin Bandara said yesterday.
“The State Minister should produce the names of MPs who are consuming cocaine so that they could be probed accordingly. The government cannot afford to waste time talking of cocaine as there are many other things to be done. The cocaine issue has painted a wrong picture of Parliament. People now perceive it as a den of drugs and a place where MPs wrestle. This is downright wrong. This negative image should be cleared forthwith,” he told a media conference held yesterday.
On a different note, Mr. Bandara said the opposition that once praised State Minister Ramanayake had now started criticising him after his comment that a majority of cocaine users were from the opposition. (Yohan Perera)
