’We’ll take care of you before seven Poya days’, underworld figure threatens Minister Alles
Colombo, Dec.21 (Daily Mirror) Public Security Minister Tiran Alles has received a threatening call from an overseas underworld figure following a media briefing at the Presidential Media Centres on the progress of the island-wide special operation, “Yukthiya” (Justice).
Shortly after the briefing concluded, Minister Alles reportedly received an anonymous call, suspected to be from an overseas criminal. The Minister reportedly activated the speakerphone, allowing a media secretary to record the entire conversation.
The caller began by questioning the Minister's remarks during the media conference, where the minister allegedly hinted at using maximum force against underworld criminals interfering with the police operation. Minister Alles told that he would not hesitate to resort to stringent measures if the underworld posed a threat to the police.
In a chilling turn of events, the caller issued a threat against the Minister's safety, vowing to "take care of him" within seven poya days.
Minister Alles also responded, "I will finish this in two, not seven poyas. I am committed to doing whatever is necessary."
As the conversation escalated, the caller elaborated on weapons and recounted previous incidents involving criminal casualties. Minister Alles, however, maintained his focus on the legality of the operation, stating, "I am conducting this operation within the bounds of the law. Regardless of the pressure, I will persevere and take necessary actions."
During the media brefing, Minister Alles declared an unwavering commitment to continuing the operation to suppress drug trafficking and underworld activities in the country, regardless of external pressures.

When a minister in Kandy holds a rave party for his Muslim drug dealer pal to sell drugs with security by the forces, one realises the futility of these orchestrated drug elimination campaigns.

We can remember how they staged a drama with Namal Kumara, a well known madman to discredit IP Nishantha and prevent Zaharan's arrest.

Have u seen any Minister or official answers phone calls during a briefing. It’s very obviously stage. Anyway, if the crime numbers do drop in the next few months, the results of this exercise is positive. If not, wrong guys are caught!

This is all bullshit., he should first investigate throughout how the drugs enters our country, who are the king pins behind the whole operation. Then he should turn his attention to the police officers who are closely connected to the drug trade and receiving massive amount of money. He could identified such officer through the life style they are leading.The excise which take place now is useless unless he takes action to plug the wholes through which drugs get in to this country.

Well done minister, keep up the good work. Make SL drug free. Future generations will praise you. The general belief is many of your colleagues in parliament are also involved in the business. I hope you will nail them too. Only then the people will vote for you.

In todays context of things who knows what is happening. The comments we read herein maybe by the drug addicts and dealers themselves attacking the Minister because they are feeling the effects of his campaign. On the other hand the Minister himself could be stage managing the whole drama ! sic !

A Supporter of the Minister Friday, 22 December 2023 02:00 PM
Whoever threatened the Minister knew the exact time of the media briefing and the Minister let everyone hear the so-called 'Underworld Figure threatening him'. Anybody with common sense can work out if this is a genuine threat or a pre-planned circus.

PEOPLE - This is the same guy who manufactured a fairy story about his enemies setting his Nawala road house on fire a few yrs ago. Went round to the LTTE with a gym bag stacked with money to distort the election result in MR's favour. Siphoned endless black money to UK and invested in properties and pseudo companies. He will side with the highest bidder irrespective of ethics or decency. Even a primary school kid can figure out the telephone calls made at a press conference were a blatant stage drama only the least educated like Alles can be fooled with.

Sounds like a James Hadley Chase novel. Unbelievable that while the drug lord was threatening over the phone the minister was listening patiently and explaining his point! Nothing but an attempt to divert the attention from his mansions discovered in London.

Hello Alcohola, reduce your alcohol intake and come into your senses. Media show is to make people aware of the fight against rampant crime. If you are againt it then you are in one of these groups i.e druggies or criminals or you may be living on NGO donations.

Politicians in charge of the drug trade are obviously planning to hike prices. Festive season is always the time to increase profits. Their overlords in China and Mexico, who now run the island, are teaching them well.
