I have not emphasised to say ok for the rapists or those who committing crimes as such on my forum . But i said this incident is used by some bankrupt politicians to gain a political advantages which is horrendous and dreadful.so , I expect you to watch that SATANA program before come to me . Where you will get my point And criticism ,but i certainly did not concern how Sirisena response or the chief minister concerned over the issue , nevertheless I understand your post is base on those two puppets concerned , honestly not me . I can see that You have stressed to bring some valid arguments and concerns to the issue in the society which I appreciate . But why don’t you have proper concern about people who misuse the such matters . Which I see in your site very seriously . The media mean there should have some kind of balance that could cover every perception .,mostly I see that is lack in your site . I meant you guys are well inclined to some one or some where

POSTED ON BEHALF OF THE AUTHOR: My comments were based on a particular tragedy and the responses of the President, the Chief Minister and the Deputy Minister to visit the victim’s family, as well as the reforms announced by the President. These are admirable. If those concerned derived political benefits from acting correctly, so much the better. So far the responses have been mostly positive in respect of sensitizing the nation and interethnic unity. Do you expect anyone to say that this atrocity is OK because there have been many atrocities here and elsewhere in the past? If so, we should stop punishing rapists, murderers and other criminals.

You are quite right. I wish that we Sri Lankans begin to react as promptly and effectively to every atrocity.

We need a SYSTEMIC change.

The way most legal cases get dragged on is unacceptable and must be tackled urgently. The snail speed at which legal cases of crimes against women and children is simply a crime in itself.
