The conduct of the unidentified gang in attacking and burning down the Leader News Paper Press is highly deplorable and should be very strongly condemned by every right-thinking person and by those who value democratic norms. Writing should be met by writing and not by thuggery or by any other undemocratic means. When the country is trying hard to reinstall democracy that had deteriorated to a great extent, it is indeed annoying and disturbing to see democracy eroding further day by day. The Government in it’s own interest and to save its name should go all out to trace the culprits and punish them which I hope will not be difficult at all.
Who-ever is responsible for this dastardly act or instrumental for it, should not go with the impression that they have achieved something great, forgetting the fact that it will boomerang on them one day, not far away. This type of actives will not help anybody other than brining ruin to the democratic principles and disgrace to the country.
Every citizen should take it as an offence committed against everyone of us and therefore should go all out to bring the culprits to book by giving all information they have or can gather about this incident, to the authorities.
A petrol bomb thrown at the residence of Hon. Mr. Sooriyarachchi, Member of Parliament is equally deplorable. This act in inhuman and cowardly and should not be encouraged by any body under any circumstances. This should not happen even to the worst enemy. A big tragedy is averted, by his wife and four children escaping unhurt.
A question everyone of us should ask ourselves is whether we should tolerate this type of brutal acts in our society which is living in constant fear and tension and had suffered to the maximum due to the on-going war.
