?Who knows where a panic-stricken crowd runs to??
Anatole France (Monsieur Bergeret in Paris)
While the world was in a state of shock over the brutal assassination of Benazir Bhutto, Sri Lankans across every divide celebrated the richly deserved come-uppance of Minister Mervyn de Silva. Most Sri Lankans would have been deeply affected by the tragic fate of Ms. Bhutto. But the sight of Minister Silva, that marauder par excellence, being manhandled by the usually docile and politically correct employees of the state owned Rupavahini Corporation was a sight too rare to be bested by any happening, however horrendously momentous. When the worm finally turns the result can be quite spectacular and portentous.

Lalith aiya,
How are you?
Mervyn is just a symptom of the problem, yet, he should go. That will be the first step towards reform and good governance.
These days the public is not bothered much about which party governs no major difference in policy as such between major parties. All they expect is leaders with good conduct. If the masses forget about this then there is no hope, even if Mervyn goes another joker will replace him.
If there is public agitation, then certainly there will be some changes for the better. Leaders will be vary of what they do.
Hats off to the Rupavahini staff who showed the way. |

Laliths :
The way i see this is Ruling parties encourage this kind of thuggery to
intimidate the opposition. The blame goes to the Big guys who use Mervin kind of people. |

Laliths :
I am so happy that Rupavahini staff did not put up with intimidation and fought
with these clowns with courage. It is hard to chance the politicians.
It is the People can make them to change or face consequences like this incident. i am sure now this incident make the politicians worry.
The best thing is the live telecast : ))). |
