Referring to the proposed Bureau of Rehabilitation Bill, SJB MP Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka in Parliament yesterday said it is the politicians of this country who should be rehabilitated first as they are the ones who are responsible for the country’s sorry state of affairs today.   

“I appeal to the people in this country to resume the aragalaya and drive corrupt politicians out of power. “I don’t mean insurrections like 1971 or 1989 when I say aragalaya. What I mean is a peaceful struggle to restore democracy of this nation,” he added.  

He also questioned what senior State intelligence Chief was doing till underworld figure Kanjipani fled the country the day after he was granted bail.
