Naniniwala ang Malacañang na layunin lamang ng Senate investigation na balak ni Sen. Leila de Lima na siraan ang pagiging lehitimo ng maigting na kampanya laban sa iligal na droga.
Magugunitang naghain ng resolusyon si De Lima para imbestigahan ang serye ng pagkakapatay ng mga pinaniniwalaang drug personalities.
Sinabi ni Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo, walang basehan sa ngayon ang pagsasagawa ng imbestigasyon sa police operations dahil nag-ugat lamang sa ispekulasyon.
Ayon kay Atty. Panelo, mismong Commission on Human Rights (CHR) ay walang binabalak na pagsisiyasat sa drug pushers killings.
Gayunman, kinikilala raw ng Malacañang ang kalayaan ng sinumang senador o kongresista na magpatawag ng imbestigasyon para sa pagpasa ng panukalang batas basta may kaukulang basehan.
"While it is the duty of a member of Congress to initiate investigation in aid of legislation there appears to be no basis for a Senate investigation other than speculation and conjecture. The police agency as a matter of procedure conducts immediately its own investigation when a civilian is killed in the course of an arrest. The Human Rights Commission has not even initiated any investigation of the so-called killing of pushers. Any Senate investigation on the matter therefore is baseless and may be viewed as an attempt to raise doubts on the legitimacy of the police operations being conducted against the drug menace," ani Panelo.
