Assault on police officers : Mahinda calls for impartial inquiry The Leader of the Opposition, Mahinda Rajapaksa, has written to Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe requesting that an impartial inquiry be held into the assault of police officers by some politicians and to mete out justice without delay. The letter says that police officers providing public security and maintaining law and order of the country are attacked or threatened by some politicians as well as their kith and kin."I am aware that due to this, some honest police officers are thoroughly frustrated and I feel that a situation has arisen that the country cannot expect an impartial service from the Police. Likewise, the confidence that the general public has placed on the police has begun to be undermined," he says.The Opposition has called for the appointment of a special committee to probe the matter and take action against the politicians concerned.
