The journalists who are reporting on the proceedings in the Western Provincial Council (WPC) were restricted to one area within the council chamber’s gallery today.

The new development follows an incident where four councillors were caught watching pornography during the budget debate held on November 19.

Earlier, the journalists had access to move within the gallery and take photographs from any spot in the gallery. However, during yesterday’s session, journalists were restricted to one particular area which was clearly demarcated.

A notice on a railing said unauthorized personnel including journalists and visitors would not be allowed outside the demarcated area. (Muditha Dayananda)

Watching phonograph better than vandalising public property in the parliament

It is as easy as restricting the porn at router level. It should have be that way in all Gov. computers. Why is not so?

Now we understand why do they need expensive comfortable seats : to sit and watch pornography. Pathetic people.
