Former MP Hirunika Premachandra who questioned the genuineness of Yukthiya operation alleged that raids to apprehend drug traffickers are not conducted in selected areas.   
“ It is common knowledge that there are politicians who are engaged in drug trafficking. Some of them are operating in areas such as Dematagoda. A bill board has been erected by an underworld gang leader congratulating acting IGP Deshabandu Tennekoon. How can this be?. Why is that operations on recovering drugs are not launched in this areas? “, she questioned.  
“ Deshabandu was in a vehicle at the back with others who shot my father Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra, “ Ms. Premachandra told media.   “ Yukthiya operation will become a joke soon because of the wrongdoings of its architects, “ she added.
