Anyone committing a Crime or a Fraud cannot be let free EVEN IF HE IS A WAR HERO. Being a War Hero does not absolve anyone from facing justice. So dont get the meaning of WAR HEROES wrong.

It is also the duty of war heroes to stay clear of controversy. Being a war hero does not give right break the law. On the other hand they should not fear an investigation if innocent.

In turn of history, today terrorists and their known supporters are prosecutors and gentlemen. People who eradicated terrorism are accused, suspecta and even criminals. We should be ashamed to be Sri Lankans!
