(Lanka-e-News- 30.April.2016, 7.45PM) Two DIGs who performed their duties duly and lawfully , but were shunted and sidelined based on various crafty schemes of the former IGP during the ‘nefarious decade’ of the lawless Rajapakses were yesterday(29) promoted to the rank of senior DIGs. Their names are : S.A.B.F. Gunawardena who was DIG in charge of Galle district , and M.R. Latheef who was in charge of physical training Institute of the police. These promotions were granted based on recommendations made by the Police Commission.
Gunawardena was compelled to seek redress from the Human Rights Commission (HRC) then because ex IGP Ilangakoon obstructed Gunawardena from securing the promotion. Owing to the action filed by Gunawardena in the HRC to restore to him all the promotions he was entitled to , in itself underlines that the promotion scheme of the Police was lop sided and not impartial. Following the establishment of the Independent Police Commission by the government of good governance under the 19 th amendment and action taken ,that unfair situation ebbed away.
Meanwhile , Sujeewa Senasinghe the minister of State announced , since ex IGP Ilangakoon must hold himself responsible for the suppression of information pertaining to Thajudeen’s murder , the law must be enforced against him.
