Disarming of any person who has no authority to hold weapon is a good deed.

People in the North and East are sick of paramilitary political culture. This is the main reason, people in the east prefer SF.

Disarming before the elections is good whatever party they belong to paramilitaries should be called as such and be decommissioned.

"The suspect is to have had an illegal automatic weapon......"
Does this mean that Sri Lankans (or particular Sri Lankans) have the right to own automatic weapons????
