After someone involved in a crime is arrested, other people associated with him are afraid of what the suspect will reveal, says JVP General Secretary Tilvin Silva.
Therefore, Ranil Wickremesinghe is also afraid of what Pillayan, who is under arrest and is being detained, says he is investigating what Pillayan is saying, and for that purpose, he has appointed Udaya Gammanpila as Pillayan’s lawyer and has directed him to meet Pillayan.
Although Udaya Gammanpila is a lawyer, he has not appeared in court in recent history, so Pillayan’s case will be the first case he will appear in.
He said this while addressing a public meeting of the National People’s Power in the Galle area.
