Counter Terrorism Bill does not contain relief package for terrorists - PM

There is no need to view the Counter Terrorism Bill as a boogeyman and it certainly does not contain a relief package for terrorists as some try to claim, said Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe in Parliament yesterday. He called on all parties to join hands in dealing with this terror threat and if there are any recommendations from the other parties, he called upon them to discuss them with the government.He said this in response to several questions raised by JVP-MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake during the second day of the debate on the current security situation in the country.
