It has already voiced its concern saying it has led to violation of human rights. This may cause a fresh problem to the country,\u201d Attanayake told a news briefing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) said on Friday it was very concerned over Sri Lanka\u2019s adoption of a heavily security-based response\u201d as a means of tackling illegal drug abuse. Its spokesperson Liz Throssell alleged that some of the 29,000 persons who have reportedly been arrested on drug-related charges since 17 December have alleged that they have been ill-treated or tortured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We won\u2019t oppose the Yukthiya operation as apprehending drug traffickers is good. However, it should not become a fresh issue to the country. Also&nbsp; it should not be used as a political tool,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Referring to the political developments, the SJB National Organizer said his party is in the process of appointing a committee to handle talks with other parties to form an alliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our working committee has given its approval for our party leader Sajith Premadasa to form an alliance with other parties. He is now in the process of appointing a committee to talk to other parties. Our candidate will be Sajith Premadasa. We hope that he will pose a huge challenge to incumbent President Ranil Wickremesinghe at the next Presidential election,\u201d Tissa Attanayake said<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0By\u00a0YOHAN PERERA Courtesy The Daily Mirror Colombo, Jan. 15 (Daily Mirror)- The Government as a whole and the police should handle the Yukthiya operation diligently to avoid international intervention which may lead to its end, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Tissa Attanayake said today.
