The latter made this announcement clearly and loudly mentioning even the names of the disgraceful culprits when participating in the adjournment motion debate on the ‘behavior of the police in the recent past’ of the JVP in parliament this noon.
One editor of the editorial federation came in the white Van to abduct. In regard to Ekneliyagoda , the media must take a stance , and he is not Keerthi Warnakulasuriya the ‘gembek’ (frog) , the P.M. asserted. The P.M. also went on to advise the Derana journalist who reads the newspaper in the morning on the Derana channel , not to read it like ‘Reeri Yakka’ (devil).
Unlike the print media which are privately owned, the electronic media is a public property . Therefore , it cannot be permitted to stoke racism and incite racial animosities, the P.M. emphasized. It is reported, at the Abhayaramaya it was discussed that people must be made to take to the streets with a view to communalism . If that happens , he has people hundred fold more to come to the roads , Ranil Wickremesinghe strongly warned
