Sri Lanka has become like Chicago: Ven. Wanawasi Rahula Thera
Colombo, July 12 (Daily Mirror) - Ven. Wanawasi Rahula Thera, founder of the National Namal Uyana, said Sri Lanka has now become like Chicago.
Addressing the media, the Thera mentioned that the Yukthiya Operation is operational, with different armed groups killing people in various ways, and the underworld causing numerous conflicts. He questioned whether this system can continue.
"Tourism has become a major topic in our country and is a key factor in building our economy. When people see this kind of violent behaviour on social media, they are afraid to visit Sri Lanka," he said.
He also criticized the media for showing murder cases in detail.
"I don't think it is the responsibility of ethical media organizations to broadcast such content. The government needs to impose laws. People are killing without any fear using firearms, and they shoot each other openly. These types of videos even pollute the minds of small children," he added.
Therefore, he emphasized that it is the responsibility of the government to maintain media ethics and bring laws to prevent the spread of such content that confuses and negatively influence children and the public.
