Candle light vigil for Jaffna girl today in Colombo-Rosy
State Minister of Child Affairs Rosy Senanayake said some people were attempting to gain political advantage from the incident where an 18-year-old girl was raped and killed at Punguditivu in Jaffna recently.
Minister Senanayake highlighted the fact that steps must be taken to put a stop to such incidents and said perpetrators should be severely punished so that such cruelties would not happen in the future.
She said the ministry together with Child Protection Authority had organized a candle light vigil at the Independence Square at 5.30 p.m. today to express sympathy and solidarity for the family members of the girl.
“I appeal the people to come with a candle and express your sympathy and solidarity to the bereaved family members of the victim and show our commitment to stop such cruelties in the future,” she said.(Ajith Siriwardana)
