Palitha T is another poor man's voice like Ranjan. Silencing such person is no good.

Such people are needed by the 'masses'. Without whom an election can't be won! Example: odd odd characters building 'tents' across public roads for funeral? Totally uncalled for and they will not budge. Why? Poottuwa, elephants or hands are backing them! They rather be 'eleminated' for good!, But no one ever will ever dare!.
