A rally was organized in Negombo commencing from Maris Stella College yesterday under the guidance of the Archbishop of Colombo Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith and in collaboration with other religions with a view to educating the general public on how they should be involved in controlling the spread of drugs.

Addressing the rally, Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith urged the citizens and the parliamentarians to join in the effort to eradicate the drug menace that has mainly engulfed the country's youth. Pix Sheain Fernandopulle

This is a good move by Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith. All politicians are either silent or impotent on this issue. Even the president with his big mouth talk against drugs,

I thought drug menace came to this city during the last 3 years, and before that there was no such a thing here.

The Gospel tells us when Jesus confronted the Pharasees who demanded for His approval to stone the woman caught in adultery, they were convicted of their own sins and dropped their stones and disappeared.
