United National Party Parliamentarian Sajith Premadasa says the government is working to transform our country into a Heroin centre and a country filled with drug addicts.

He made these comments at programme held in the Sadungama area in Tissamaharama.

Here are some of the views expressed by Sajith Premadasa,

“The government is working to transform our country into a Heroin centre and a country filled with drug addicts. The secretary sends a letter requesting that demurrage charges be reduced on a container carrying drugs.

Can you imagine that? Now he is trying to wash his hands by saying, It is true that I sent a letter but I did not know what was inside the container. How is that story’? These drug captains and drug lords should be apprehended immediately.

All those involved in sending that letter for the container carrying drugs should be brought to justice. There is a separate law for the child who steals coconuts. In that instance, justice is served with a big spoon. But for officials, justice is served with a small spoon.”
