"The police are therefore kept inactive and at times complicit in crimes committed by these political thugs, with pressure brought on the police," he observed. Samaraweera has blamed Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa saying he continues to break all the rules of the establishment code with his arrogant, uncouth and psychotic behavior giving leadership to the Ministry of Defence. "It is not surprising that the law and order situation in the country has totally collapsed," he said. "Defence Ministry Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa has again proved us more than right. He has not only proved he is "inefficient", he has also proved he is wholly uncultured and uncivilized too, to hold even the most menial of all public posts. His verbal purging thrown on journalist cum editor of the Sunday Leader, Ms. Fredrica Jansz, should have immediately grounded the entire print and electronic media into a loud halt in any other country," the statement reads. Samaraweera further states, "Unbridled power, he thinks he could wield with vulgar threats, is definitely intolerably anti-social. If still the President does not remove Gotabhaya Rajapaksa from the post of Secretary to the Ministry of Defence and Urban Development, we don't hesitate to say, it's the right of the people to demand his removal from his office, immediately." The UNP Matara District MP has called upon all democratic organizations, trade unions and independent professional organizations to join forces to force Rajapaksa to leave his post for a saner, competent person to have law and order reestablished, in a decent and a disciplined way.
