Government which destroyed the economy, environment and agriculture is now working towards destroying the right of expression, UNP Deputy Leader Ruwan Wijewardene said over the weekend.
“UNP is standing up against this move and likewise all the parties should do so,” Mr. Wijewardene said.
“Mr. Wijewardene recalled that the previous UNP led government ensured that the right of the people to express themselves and the right to information was also guaranteed.
He also said more effective steps should be taken to curb the spread of COVID 19 rather than imposing travel restrictions.
"The travel restrictions have not brought desired results. This could be seen when considering the statistics. It is essential to detect the correct number of COVID 19 patients in order to control the pandemic,” he added. (Daily Mirror)
