‘If you stole, you will have to go to prison’: Tilvin Silva

– JVP General Secretary Tilvin Silva said today that anyone found guilty of misappropriating public funds must face imprisonment, regardless of their political affiliations or background.Addressing a public rally in Bulathsinghala, Silva rejected allegations that the government was targeting political opponents or undermining democratic principles.“We are not harassing anyone. But, if you have stolen, you will have to go to prison. There’s nothing we can do about that. Whether it’s a former President, a former Minister or whoever’s son it is doesn’t matter to us. If someone has committed an offence, the law will be enforced,” he said.Silva said the public had elected the government with the expectation that it would bring about a change in the country’s political culture and take firm action against fraud and corruption.
