Colombo, August 25 (Daily Mirror) – A government cannot claim the law is equal to all” when it chases the opposition with urgency, yet moves like a tortoise when its own ministers face serious corruption allegations, Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) Politburo member Geethanath Cassilingham said.
“Where is the inquiry into former Speaker Ranwala’s fake educational credentials? What happened to the investigation into the release of the 323 containers? What about the growing list of corruption cases involving those in power- including Cabinet Minister Kumara Jayakody? The Hon. courts have even reprimanded the police for delaying the case against Minister Samarasinghe. Where is equality before the law for him?” Cassilingam asked in a post on X.
“Selective justice is not justice, it is a political weapon,” he added.
