President Mahinda Rajapaksa today directed that
speedy action be taken to bring to book those
responsible for attacks on employees of Rupavahini,
and has called for a plan of action to protect them.
Here is the text of the
statement issued by the Director, Government
Information.
The government expresses its grave concern about the
recent repeated brutal attacks directed at the
employees of Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation (SLRC).
While the government has taken every action to
ensure the security of media personnel, the
government is greatly surprised about the savage act
of thuggery carried out on Mr. Anurasiri Hettige,
President of the Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation
Employees Union, the day after a successful
discussion was held by the trade unions of SLRC with
Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, IGP Victor
Perera and the Management of SLRC with regard to
preventing acts of thuggery against employees of
SLRC.
At a special discussion President Mahinda Rajapaksa
had today (March 14) with Media and Information
Minister Anura Priyadarshana Yapa and Media Minister
Lakshman Yapa Abeywardene with regard to these
regrettable incidents, the President instructed the
Defence Secretary to bring those responsible for
these offences before the law without delay.
The President also instructed the Minister of Media
and Information to work out a plan of action to
ensure the protection of employees of the Sri Lanka
Rupavahini Corporation.
