These police officers have told the president and the prime minister that they opposed giving him the position. They were the one who were promoted during the Rajapaksa regime and did its bidding under direct orders from Gotabhaya Rajapaksa. They did not enforce the law, but protected those responsible for the murders, attacks, abductions and other crimes.
They know that if Fonseka is appointed the minister and the law enforced properly against the Rajapaksas and their henchmen, they too, will be in trouble. The police and the law enforcement authorities are responsible for ensuring the law and order situation, and they should have no say as to who would be the minister in charge. Up to now, police, AG’s Dept. and other institutions coming under the ministry did not enforce the law properly. The president experienced its repercussions at the recent mini-polls. At least now, he should take the correct and bold decisions.
