PTA must be repealed – Ranil

Former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe in Parliament says the Prevention of Terrorism Act must be repealed altogether and new legislation must be enacted to address the modern threats of terrorism.

Speaking in Parliament today (22), the former PM said while introducing a new counter terrorism bill, the intelligence system should also be modernised.

He further added that he believes new terrorist threats will emerged in the country and therefore the country should be prepared to face such issues through a counter terrorism bill.
