The Chief Editor of Lanka Irida Chandana Sirimalwatta who was called to the CID to be questioned regarding an article published in Lanka Irida, the weekend Sinhalese newspaper, has been questioned for about 2 hours.
Mr. Sirimalwatta has been questioned regarding the news item A conspiracy to assassinate Gen. Sarath Fonseka that was published last Sunday. The questioning has been conducted on orders from the IGP under clause No.120 of the penal code alleging that the news item published would create public disturbance.
Looks like we have a smart IGP.
Excellent!
