Gagging of Social Media not something new – UNP General Secretary

UNP General Secretary Palitha Range Bandara said that Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa has become a joker with

statements such as he will launch second Aragalaya (struggle), if the government brings restrictions against social media, forgetting that he himself got attacked by Aragalaya activists.

Speaking to media in Colombo he said that restrictions against social media is not a new thing and is something that the Ministry of Public Security has raised before.

“The fact that various people are being accused and insulted and slandered through social media has been discussed before. Some could not bear the pressure and committed suicide.

Therefore, some control should be implemented for this purpose” he added.

He further said that Premadasa was trying to seek petty political mileage from the issue.
