On
account of thug attacks carried out targeting employees
of Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation, the trade unions
in SLRC have decided to stop all telecasts from today
until the President mediates to assure their security.
Already, live telecasts of programmes were stopped as
soon as Mr. Anurasiri Hettige, a leader of SLRC trade
union was attacked by thugs this morning.
SLRC employees say it is amusing that the attack was carried
out within 24 hours of the promise made by Defense Secretary
Gotabhaya Rajapakse to safeguard the security of the SLRC
employees. Trade union leaders say employees of all corporations
would be called for a massive trade union action if the
authorities don’t take measures to safeguard the
SLRC employees and punish those who were involved in the
attacks.
