Minister of Public Security Ananda Wijepala has stated that Sri Lanka faces no security threat from the recent explosions in India and Pakistan.
He emphasized that the country’s security remains stable due to the active vigilance of Sri Lanka’s intelligence agencies.
“Currently, no information indicates such a threat. Our intelligence agencies remain alert, and our security forces, including the tri-forces and the police, are particularly attentive to national security. Therefore, there is no issue regarding national security,” Minister Wijepala said.
Addressing reports about underworld figures allegedly planning to return to Sri Lanka, the Minister clarified:
“I did not say that. What I mentioned is that some drug traffickers have expressed a desire to give up their criminal activities. If those involved in such activities wish to leave that path, it is a positive development.”
