Elpitiya, Dec 16 (Daily Mirror) - Public Security Minister Tiran Alles said that a special operation targeting drug-related activities and the underworld is set to commence tomorrow.

This man Alles is himself a crook. He is an accused for many crimes in the country. I don’t why he is jumping up and down when there is a police commission to control the police. Police has to be independent from politics and politicians. Tell him to go to hell. Police has a duty to protect law

Minister, Please stop the old trick in the book of creating a 'Smoke Screen' when you are caught red-handed with stashed away ill gotten money in nameless accounts in overseas banks.

How much minister's big bosses want this to happen? This Govt's existance depend on their safety and their earnings. Prompt operations will be like prompt purchasing in govt. sector. Never stop drugs coming into the country with the support of the agents of big bosses. Kansa-cry legal exports will return as value added drugs. Police alone cannot make this a success within a specified timeframe.

This fellow talks nonsense and he suddenly wants to be like the former president of Philippine Durate . He should answer the nation how he has arranged fund for LTTE to stop voting of Tamil people from north in the election which was held years ago in which Rangoja won the election. You can stop drug abuse by curtailing the imports and not by curtailing the small type drug dealers and drug users.Boy first remove your IGP who was fined by the Judiciary for violating the law.

To reveal where all crimes involving drugs and illegal export/import of gold etc., ALL in public service must be given a deadline to submit their declaration of assets here and abroad. 50% of drug peddling will come to a halt immediately. The glaring disparity between income and assets points to all misdemeanours.

This is a simple thing. Tell your Buddies in the Cabinet and the Parliament to suspend their activities till the Elections. Whom are you trying to “ Hoodwink “ Mr. Minister. If the government genuinely want to eradicate Drugs and Underworld activities, allocate that Ministry under Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka’s wings.

Alles woken up from a long Slumber, what the hell was he and the Police department doing all this time ?? Now suddenly?? With his background of "Helping Hambantota "and rich Deals with the "LTTE" now may be "Helping Deshabandu" what a crook he himself. This reminds of how Gota came with a bang to irradicating the drug menace, was just a eye wash,and ultimately he had no hiding place here and fled the country.

Allegations are different, war against drugs is different. Two topics. We wish you and police all the best. If someone can help our society to eradicate durgs that's most important for the moment. Other matters should solve by the eagle system.

Just one phone call from a politician to a police station can get these drug dealers out in a jiffy. What's the bet? Otherwise, how come these people get arrested for the same crime again and again? This is just a drama ahead of elections.
