He insisted that there was a way to handle issues arising out of problems involving the Defence Ministry and the AGMS.<\/p>\n<p>Vowing that he wouldn\u2019t weaken the armed forces under any circumstances President Sirisena accused those in charge of investigations of misleading him. Referring to the ongoing cases involving members of the Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI) in the alleged disappearance of media person Prageeth Ekneligoda and killing of Sunday Leader editor Lasantha Wickrematunga, President Maithripala Sirisena said that suspects couldn\u2019t be held in custody indefinitely. The courts should be moved against them, released or given bail pending court proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>The President said that he had not addressed those matters publicly before and in the near future decisions would have to be made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President dislikes the way former Def Sec and navy chief were dragged to court \u0dbb\u0da7\u0dda \u0db1\u0dd2\u0daf\u0dc4\u0dc3, \u0db4\u0dca\u200d\u0dbb\u0da2\u0dcf\u0dad\u0db1\u0dca\u0dad\u0dca\u200d\u0dbb\u0dc0\u0dcf\u0daf\u0dba \u0db8\u0dd9\u0db1\u0dca\u0db8 \u0db8\u0dcf\u0db1\u0dc0 \u0d85\u0dba\u0dd2\u0dad\u0dd3\u0db1\u0dca \u0dc3\u0dd4\u0dbb\u0d9a\u0dca\u0dc2\u0dd2\u0dad \u0d9a\u0dbb \u0dc0\u0d82\u0da0\u0dcf\u0dc0\u0dd9\u0db1\u0dca, \u0daf\u0dd6\u0dc2\u0dab\u0dba\u0dd9\u0db1\u0dca, \u0d85\u0d9a\u0dca\u200d\u0dbb\u0db8\u0dd2\u0d9a\u0dad\u0dcf\u0dc0\u0dba\u0dd9\u0db1\u0dca \u0dad\u0ddc\u0dbb \u0dbb\u0da7\u0d9a\u0dca \u0d9c\u0ddc\u0da9\u0db1\u0dd0\u0d9c\u0dd3\u0db8\u0da7 \u0dc3\u0dca\u0dae\u0dcf\u0db4\u0dd2\u0dad \u0d9a\u0dc5 \u0dc3\u0dca\u0dc0\u0dcf\u0db0\u0dd3\u0db1 \u0d9a\u0ddc\u0db8\u0dd2\u0dc2\u0db1\u0dca \u0dc3\u0db7\u0dcf \u0daf\u0dda\u0dc1\u0db4\u0dcf\u0dbd\u0db1 \u0db1\u0dca\u200d\u0dba\u0dcf\u0dba \u0db4\u0dad\u0dca\u200d\u0dbb\u0dc0\u0dbd\u0da7 \u0d85\u0db1\u0dd4\u0dc0 \u0d9a\u0da7\u0dba\u0dd4\u0dad\u0dd4 \u0dc3\u0dd2\u0daf\u0dd4\u0db1\u0ddc\u0d9a\u0dc5 \u0dba\u0dd4\u0dad\u0dd4 \u0db6\u0dc0 \u0da2\u0db1\u0dcf\u0db0\u0dd2\u0db4\u0dad\u0dd2 \u0db8\u0ddb\u0dad\u0dca\u200d\u0dbb\u0dd3\u0db4\u0dcf\u0dbd \u0dc3\u0dd2\u0dbb\u0dd2\u0dc3\u0dda\u0db1 \u0db8\u0dc4\u0dad\u0dcf \u0db4\u0dc0\u0dc3\u0dba\u0dd2. \u0d8b\u0dad\u0dca\u0dc3\u0dc0\u0dba \u0d85\u0db8\u0dad\u0db8\u0dd2\u0db1\u0dca \u0da2\u0db1\u0dcf\u0db0\u0dd2\u0db4\u0dad\u0dd2\u0dc0\u0dbb\u0dba\u0dcf \u0dad\u0dc0 \u0daf\u0dd4\u0dbb\u0da7\u0dad\u0dca \u0d9a\u0dd2\u0dba\u0dcf \u0dc3\u0dd2\u0da7\u0dd2\u0dba\u0dda FCID, CID [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59664\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lankaweb.com\/news\/items\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
