PRESS RELEASE

The Tamil United Liberation Front very strongly condemns the dastardly act of causing extensive damage to the buildings and causing immense damage to the most Modern Equipments belonging to very popular TV and Radio Stations, the Sirasa, Sakthi and the MTV. These Stations are so popular among all sections of the people that they put the people to sleep peacefully in the night and put them up afresh early in the morning. These stations have now become public property and the loss is ours, the people of Sri Lanka and not that of one individual or a company. It is very unfortunate that the country has come to this state where an individual or a group of persons can hold the country to ransom

The said Radio and TV stations catered to the needs and tastes of all sections irrespective of age, language or religion. One can’t understand as to how an individual can have any grievance against any one of these stations. The authorities concerned should go all out to arrest the unscrupulous persons responsible for this heinous crime and punish them suitably, as a deterrent for any one getting involved in this type of crimes in the future.


V. Anandasangaree,
President – TULF.
