These councils became toothless tigers in that the executive president held powers to override any of the provisions the amendment empowered. This doomed the process even before it could be implemented.

Legal challenges against the 13th Amendment and the Provincial Councils Bill were based on arguing that those were inconsistent with Articles 2 and 3 of the Constitution in that Sri Lanka is a unitary state, and the devolution proffered was an unconstitutional alienation of the sovereignty of the people. If the Supreme Court determined that devolution was materially affecting the unitary state and the sovereignty of the people, then the amendment can be validly enacted only if it was approved at a referendum as well as a two-thirds majority in Parliament. A full bench of the Supreme Court by a majority decision held that the Amendment did not require a referendum and once enacted by Parliament, the Provincial Councils Bill would be constitutional.

A wave of criminal activity, punctuated by a rise in shootings, has once again begun unfurling its dark tendrils across the island nation.

These modern-day feuds, often rooted in personal grievances and historical animosities, play out on the streets, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Yet, the surge of crime in Sri Lanka is not confined to these turf wars alone. It finds an accomplice in the shadowy corridors of the narcotics trade, a global web of intrigue that has ensnared the nation. Historically a transit point for heroin flowing from neighboring shores, Sri Lanka now stands on the precipice of becoming a destination hub. Once a conduit for illicit substances, it now faces the perilous encroachment of drug culture, a menace that ensnares the nation’s youth.

A year marked by political upheaval and civilian unrest, 2022 witnessed a disconcerting 60 percent increase in grave crimes each passing month. Minor offenses, too, flew to astonishing levels, an unsettling reflection of society’s descent into near-chaos. But there is another layer to this narrative, one that is perhaps equally profound – Sri Lanka’s Aragalaya and its indelible mark on the nation’s psyche. The Aragalaya bred an overall distrust of law enforcement, creating a chasm between the alleged protectors of the law and the citizens they swore to serve. The allocation of significant resources toward quelling the disruptions of the Aragalaya inadvertently diverted attention and manpower away from the growing surge of crime, further exacerbating the issue.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EIn response to this alarming surge, authorities are said to have initiated clandestine operations, aimed at dismantling the entrenched criminal networks.

The recent passing of the Anti-Corruption Bill could provide a crucial backdrop for this much-needed action, signaling a commitment to upholding the rule of law and integrity within these institutions. Additionally, law enforcement authorities in the country should actively collaborate with regional partners, including India and Southeast Asian countries, to collectively combat the transnational drug trade and organised crime. These networks often transcend borders, necessitating coordinated efforts for effective disruption and dismantling. Further, the severity of punishment must be a cornerstone of the government’s response. Strong penalties must be meted out to those engaged in criminal activities, particularly violent crime.

Did this doctor play a role in securing a job with a UN affiliate for this so-called whistleblower? If the doctor’s involvement in any criminal activities is baseless, why is he evading authorities? Moreover, why has the Sri Lankan government pursued an extradition order against this doctor? Why are various organizations selectively presenting information that serves their interests while deliberately concealing the true details of this entire saga? The allegations against Azad Maulana suggest he is not a whistleblower but rather an accused party who warrants immediate national and international investigation. It is crucial to note that these accusations were pending long before his flight from the country.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EAs previously reported there have been allegations that Azad Maulana deceitfully married a woman and subjected her to days of sexual assault. Legal proceedings related to this incident are underway, with the affected woman reaching out to the Swiss Ambassador and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. What actions has the Human Rights Council taken in response? Why do non-governmental organizations, purported champions of human and women’s rights, adopt a hypocritical stance in such cases? Additionally, whistleblower Azad Maulana stands accused of extorting money from numerous Tamils and Muslims, promising them employment. These findings collectively point to rape, financial impropriety, and forgery charges. It is imperative to initiate an international criminal investigation against Azad Maulana. Shouldn’t the government of Sri Lanka and international institutions committed to justice and harmony promptly issue a Red Warrant through Interpol for Azad Maulana’s arrest and prosecution?\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EAmidst all these theatrics, genuine whistleblowers like Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, Katharine Teresa Gun, and Annie Machon, who have dedicated themselves to unveiling the truth, are unjustly overshadowed.

In his diatribe, Father Gamini relied heavily on hearsay and unsubstantiated claims to mask his incapacity to confront the unvarnished truth. His evident distress following the officer’s revelations in Parliament only serves to underscore the gravity of his actions. Father Gamini’s behaviour is not only an attempt to deceive society but also a deliberate character assassination of an official who has never been found culpable by any court or commission.

Further, it is claimed that he berated police officers who helped him during a meeting and demanded their immediate dismissal. Such slander unquestionably tarnishes his reputation. No doubt. Viewing the accusations against Mr. Prasanna Alwis in this light, Father Gamini’s outburst appears not only outrageous but also morally reprehensible. His ire stems from the fact that this officer presented verifiable data on the Easter attack, dismantling the conspiracy woven by a small faction, of which Father Cyril Gamini is a part.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003ELet us revisit the case of Lasantha Wickramatunga’s assassination. In the aftermath of Mr. Wickramatunga’s assassination, it was Prasanna Alwis, not the now-prominent Nishantha Silva, who unearthed crucial information. Officer Alwis meticulously unravelled the details of the crime, including the transactions linked to the SIM cards purportedly used by the alleged assailants. In 2010, he played a pivotal role in exonerating 18 individuals falsely accused in the case. By 2015, he had removed those within the Terrorism Investigation Division implicated in tampering with evidence.

They did not flee the country or encroach upon the investigations of their colleagues. Father Cyril Gamini should refrain from maligning officials who stand unaccused and instead, muster the courage to confront the unadulterated truth, allowing his convictions to stand or fall on their own merits.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003EFurthermore, Father Gamini’s press conference contained a blatant falsehood concerning Senior Deputy Inspector General of Police Nilantha Jayawardena.
