Media Minister Dullas Alahapperuma has strongly condemned the brutal attack on journalists who went to cover the clashes in the Mirihana area in Nugegoda last Thursday.

He left a note on his Twitter account. “The right of the people to protest peacefully must be guaranteed. Protesters must not resort to violence or destroy public property. ”.

Although some media reports are circulating that Dullas Alahapperuma will resign from the ministry, when contacted by one of his spokespersons, he stated that this news could not be confirmed.
