Police said today that Rallies, which would create ethnic or religious hatred, would not be allowed in the future.

Police Spokesman SSP Ajith Rohana announcing the decision to ban such rallies, urged the people not to participate in such rallies.

He said legal action would be taken against those who participated in such rallies.

He said the decision to ban rallies was made after the Police received information that one group had organised protests tomorrow. (Darshana Sanjeewa)

Has democracy been taken into account or is this some nit wit's idea. Some one is behaving like Hitler did in the past.

Very good move.
Please ban all religions too, and promote humanity only, next generation will definitely have a better place to live.

Great thinking. But important thing is to act on what is said. Most of the time we hear lot of marvelous things from the authorities without any actions.
