‘I would resign if attacks occurred while I was Law & Order Minister’ – Madduma Bandara

Minister Ranjith Madduma Bandara says that attempts are being made to create a false fear that the country’s intelligence units were weakened under the incumbent government.

He said that the intelligence units had done their duty correctly in the recent past and that it was them who alerted about the possible terror attacks in advance. He said that the mistake was that no action was taken on that important intel.

“This is not the UNP’s responsibility. If this incident had occurred during the time that I was the Ministe of Law & Order, I would resign,” he said. 

The former Law & Order Minister sated that certain individuals survive by selling off the war and war heroes and that they are now making claims that this government destroyed the intelligence services.
