Hon. Susantha Punchinilame,— To ask the Minister of Public Order and Christian Religious Affairs,—
(a) Will he state separately as to why and following whose complaint and whose order the remainder of a stock of goods that had been purchased out of personal funds and distributed among the public as flood aid and had been kept stored in an election operations office that was run at No.49/1, Samanala Mawatha, Kandy Road, China Bay, during the last presidential election period was sealed by the police on court order and was referred to courts for initiating legal proceedings?
(b) Will he inform this House—
(i) whether the Department of Police will take the responsibility for the damage that could be caused to those goods as a bulk of most of the goods sealed are consumer items;
(ii) of the basis on which the driver who was taking the Double Cab bearing no WP PA-4549 belonging to the then Ministry of Economic Development that was parked at that office premises on the same day, was arrested and the persons who made the complaint; and
