Colombo, Jan 22 (Daily Mirror) - The Yukthiya operation should not be a drama but should be aimed at apprehending main drug dealers in the country, Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka said yesterday.

Speaking to journalists Field Marshal Fonseka said there is no point in arresting hundreds of ordinary people without arresting main drug traffickers in Sri Lanka.

"If major drug traffickers are not arrested under the Yukthiya Operation it will become another drama. Acting IGP Deshabandu Tennekoon will not be able to travel along the streets if he continues to make Yukthiya operation a drama," he added.

He also stressed that Samagi Jana Balawegaya ( SJB) should go along the right track if it wants to win the hearts of the people.

" SJB should scrutinize those whom it wants to accept to its fold rather than inviting those from other parties to join hands," he added.

Not possible because Tiran and the pohottuwa crooks arrest the small time dealers during day and have dinner with the major drug importers at night.

So , harak kata is not a major drug trafficker? There are many such big guys arrested and dome were killed. Lawyers , Cardinal and HR activists are up against this operation and SF is also playing for that gallery.

SF is not aware that those bunch will either loose their jobs or demoted and transfered to remote areas, if they go behind majors and commanders of drug business.

Is that what you plan to do in NPP government, to arrest anyone having a good house and good car saying that he earned it through drugs and corruption? This is the NPP mentality.

If Sajith does not put you forward to contest the Presidential election, that will be the end of SJB. Now people refer to Sajith as Freddie Silvia’s brother.

Well said SF, the operation of netting big time drug dealers should be netted, to stop drug menace from the country.

Ranil-Mahinda-Deshabandu's team is eliminating competition in the drug trade to pass on the control to their own stooges.

I continue to assume that Sarath Fonseka will run as presidential candidate! He is the only one who, as president, has the personal strength, power and endurance, if you look at the drug, crime and corruption problem, for example, to fundamentally change the situation and "detoxify" the country!!! The SJB should recognize this in time, maintain internal unity and focus the election campaign on him!!! He and the SL Army saved the country once, he has all the skills to save the country a second time in its political and economic struggle for survival!!! As Fonseka rightly emphasizes, it is also and above all about winning people's hearts!!! He should be able to do this with a good team, especially since all of the presidential candidates mentioned so far are the worst possible alternative!!!

Dear Field Marshal; According to Tiran Ales and Deshabandu Tennakoon over 50, 000 top drug dealers in Sri Lanka have been arrested. Now there is no drug problem at all in Sri Lanka. A lot of innocent people and some enemies of Tiran Ales and Deshabandu Tennakoon have been killed during this operation but that is OK. Is that not enough?
