Willfully or maliciously damage or destroy especially public property by the wrong doers are immorally wrong.Concern authorities must investigate & punish whoever done this brutal action.

These mindless idiots should be severely punished.They have no place in civilised society.

I find it hard to fathom the society that we live in - in Sri Lanka. My earlier comment above, have received 15 negative points. What sort of mind set do these morons have, to red line a decent, intelligent comment? Either they do not comprehend the English language or their mind set is perverted.

It was Mahatma's spade work that helped Sri Lanka get independence. I should say we got a free ride to independence.

I object to violenc because when it appears to do good , the good is temporary, the evil it does is permanent.
