By Shamindra Ferdinando
The Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) has threatened disciplinary action against those who voted for the 20th Amendment on Oct 22, but it is struggling to cope with the situation as rebels are in the majority, according to political sources.
The expulsion of the rebel group was certainly not possible, sources said, pointing out that of the five-member SLMC group, four elected MPs, H. M. M. Harees (Digamadulla), Faizal Cassim (Digamadulla) , M.S.M. Thowfeek (Trincomalee) and Nazeer Ahamed  (Batticaloa) had switched their allegiance to the ruling SLPP.

By Ifham Nizam
The Sri Lanka Customs Preventive Investigation Branch yesterday detected more than 25,000 kilos of contraband dried turmeric with a market value of Rs. 19 million.
“With the slashing of the import tax on onions to 25 cents a kilo, smugglers are attempting to smuggle in other commodities by concealing them among onion consignments,” Customs Department Spokesman, Director Sunil Jayaratna said.
He said that the importer had paid Rs. 26,880 by way of customs duty for the imported consignment.
Dried turmeric stock was concealed among fresh onions in four containers.
Customs however refused to disclose the name of the errant importer.
The courts had quite justly come to be regarded as the sentinel over the powers of the legislature and the executive in Sri Lanka in order to safeguard the rights of the citizen under the law and the Constitution, Attorney General Dappula de Livera, PC has said on March 23 at the ceremonial sitting of the Court of ....

Dr. Malik suggests burying COVID -19 victims in impermeable wrapping


By M.A. Kaleel
The claim that the burial of dead bodies of COVID-19 victims could lead to the spread of coronavirus is nonscientific, says Professor Malik Peiris, a world renowned Pathologist and Virologist, currently serving as the Chair Professor of the Department of Virology at the University of Hong Kong. He is also one of the leading scientists who discovered the virus that causes SARS.
Dr Peiris told The Island: “The answer is simple. Viruses can only replicate in living cells unlike certain bacteria like Ebola. Viruses by definition require living cells to replicate. Once a person has died and the cells in his body have died the virus will die. This is the first reason. ....

Mahara Prison catastrophe: Ministers talk in different tongues while official committee says prisoners made reasonable demand
Though
Shangri La , a name synonymous with an earthly paradise or a mythical  Himalayan utopia, the event at the five-star luxury hotel in Colombo last Wednesday, with all movers and shakers of the government, was less grandiose.
To the glitter of crystal chandeliers and music from a group that played traditional music with a Violin, Tabla, flute and Seraphina at the Grand Ballroom, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, entertained members of the government parliamentary group to dinner. As one of his aides explained, it was a traditional event last Wednesday, as Finance Minister, to thank the MPs for taking part in the 21-day budget debate. Though the opposition ....
