A call for a thorough inquiry.

First of all,let me ask you a question!Can you ever imagine some phone recordings could ever be the most popular talk all around the country?
Due to State Minister Ranjan Ramanayake's telephone conversations with judges,politicians,Police top brass and even his fellow actors and actresses,a disturbing picture has emerged from the previous government.When the rest of the world take recording calls as illegal,it is questionable why it isn't in Sri Lanka? On the other hand why did Mr.Ramanayake did record the calls and leaked them to media and mainstream  if he hasn't had a soul purpose to do so.Judging by Ramanayake's conversations,one sees  a disturbing pattern of coercion on the police and worse,on the judiciary to target political opponents,since there has been a recording with the former PM Mr.Ranil Wickramasinghe as well.Further,PM Mahinda Rajapakse stated that he will put the matter to investigate as it has already harmed the image of SL judiciary as well,with the support of chief justice.Sri Lankan citizens see this act none other than a complete joke while some look into it as assaulting impartiality of public servants.
To conclude,the next step will be to analyze and investigate the content and put those responsible to be dealt with firm law if there's any law has been broken or any person has put under pressure.

The first task of the Sunday Observer was to support the struggle for independence,which Mr.Wijewardene saw as the core mission for his newspaper empire that included publications in all three languages. No newspaper can thrive without loyal readers and the Sunday Observer is the exception. The Observer is taking the current opportunity to pay a tribute to their readers who have been with them through thick and thin,s...
