President Maithripala Sirisena declared a State Emergency a short while ago to redress the unsatisfactory security situation prevailing in certain parts of the country.

The President’s Media Division said the Police and Armed Forces have been suitably empowered to deal with criminal elements in the society and to restore normalcy with immediate effect.

As heard in the Parliament today yet continuing, UNP ers too are blaming President and PM for failure to act fast and failure of security officers. There is no Law

This routinely happens when the Human Rights Council is discussing Sri Lanka. It's all very fishy!

Appoint someone who has experience and capability to be the Law and Order minister. You know who I mean by that statement. If you do that all these problems could be resolved in no time.

We 3rd grade citizens select and elect 3rd grade politicians from their societies who are crooks, robbers, looters, scavengers, lairs and opportunist. Then we complain politicians. Society itself morally bankrupt so what to expect from politicians. Don't just blame politicians we are part of this system and we must be culprits.
