Politicians, be responsible when accusing opponents

One would wonder if our politicians really want to eradicate crime, given the irresponsible statements they make about crime before the television cameras, irrespective of the party they are affiliated to.

They always politicise the violent incidents or drug related incidents, implicating their political rivals or opponents.

When a group religious fanatics went berserk on the Easter Sunday of 2019, killing nearly 300 people, in three churches and three star-class hotels, our politicians attempted their best to implicate all their adversaries to the carnage.

The main Opposition of the day, the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) accused the ruling parties that they had weakened the intelligence apparatuses leading to the terrorist attacks, whereas relevant intelligence authorities had apparently issued prior warnings about a possible attack to almost all political leaders, with precise details of the culprits, the modus operandi, and possible targets.
