Journalists not scared of white vans any more!
02 DECEMBER 2014
Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa, who deceived journalists saying they would be given various privileges, now says more than 70% of journalists act against the government. Various statements are made by Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa and his group due to the political bankruptcy they have been fallen to and in the process the reality too filters out from their laments.
This statement indicates that Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa has realized that he has failed to know the real opinion of the people despite having tamashas for senior officials of media institutions at Temple Trees.
The statement has also accepted that despite setting fire to media institutions, murdering 11 journalists including Lasantha Wickremetunga, getting Eknaligoda to disappear and several others were attacked, threatened and made to flee the country Mahinda Rajapaksa regime has been unable to stifle the voice of journalists.
Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa has made the observations at an opening ceremony held at Kolonnawa. He has further said that drug racketeers and underworld elements had left the country.
However, Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa has not explained why the racketeers and underworld elements could not be apprehended if KP could be arrested in a foreign country.
