Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe must take the responsibility for the controversial sale of Central Bank Bonds as long as Arjuna Mahendran holds the post of CB Governor, Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) General Secretary and Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka said.He said the Anti-Corruption Committee headed by the Prime Minister was biased when it came to several incidents including the Bond sales, the floating armoury, Avant Garde and RADA.
“The ministers including me and Minister Rajitha Senaratne opposed the appointment of Mr. Mahendran but the Prime Minister said it was one of his decisions and he will handle it,” the minister said.
He said the United National Party (UNP) alone could not have helped President Maithripala Sirisena to win the presidency if not for the support of the JHU.
“But today the UNP behaves as if this is a UNP government,” he said.
This PM will be responsible for many things. So do not tell it to us because you are the one who made him the PM.

Dear Minister! First of all, Arjun Mahendra was not found guilty by the committee appointed to investigate the problem. If you are not satisfied, then, with the others who are not satisfied, you can ask for a parliamentary select committee to investigate the matter again.First, the Governor has to be held responsible to point a finger at the PM.Hence, stop throwing mud at people. The PM with all his faults, is not a thief like your former boss. He is one guy, who is clean in the present set up. I can remember even your former colleague Wimal Weerawansa had given RW a clean slate sometime back in the parliament, before he joined hands with the former boss.

This perticular committee which was appointed by PM from the UNP Layers Committee. Will the UNP lawyer will ever find Arjun guilty for this offence????

This case was lodged as a "Fundamental Rights Violation" by the complainents. Hence it was rejected by the SC??.
