Sri Lanka, May 26 -- Killing civilians has become a normal occurrence in the country and the underworld is now ruling the nation, former Parliamentarian Wimal Weerawansa said.

Addressing the media, he said that underworld figures have begun to enforce law and regulations in the country.

"We are deeply saddened by the situation this country has reached. We are even more disheartened by the fact that this government, which came to power by telling stories, is maintaining a silent stance on this matter," Weerawansa said.
