Action against Hirunika if guilty: Minister

Disciplinary action will be taken against UNP parliamentarian Hirunika Premachandra if she is found guilty of being involved in the recent abduction drama, a senior minister said today. Minister Kabir Hashim told a media briefing that the police have been given a free hand to investigate the matter. “None of the government ministers had influenced nor will influence the police to stop any investigation in to the matter," he said. When asked whether the UNP had the right to take disciplinary action, the minister said the party has that right because she contested as a member of the UNF.
