CC’s alleged links with drug dealer: PHU leader seeks explanation

Pivithuru Hela Urumaya leader Udaya Gammanpila said that the government owed an explanation regarding the claim made by a section of the media that the Constitutional Council refused to grant a third extension to IGP C. D. Wickremaratne in a bid to protect a drug dealer.

Attroney-at-law Gammanpila said that as the CC comprised seven lawmakers, including the PM, Speaker and Opposition Leader and three respected members of the civil society, the Parliament couldn’t turn a blind eye to such high profile accusations.

Actually, this is a matter for the Privileges Committee, the Colombo District lawmaker said.
