'Agitators keep mum over relief'
A W Gunawardhana- Matara central corr
The government had to increase the fuel price unwillingly as oil
producing countries have increased the oil price. The people who agitate
against this do not talk about the relief given to fishermen, said M P
for the Matara district Hemal Gunasekara at a seminar for media
personnel at the Rahula College auditorium, Matara recently.
The seminar was organized by the Sri Lankan Institute for
Professional Media Personnel. Gunasekara said people were provoked by
such statements that were made to gain political advantage. "The media
is close to the people.
"It is a close friend of the people. This friendship can be used
either for good purposes or for bad purposes. The media has a great
responsibility. |
