3 August 2013 03:14 am

Government Information Department Director General Ariyaratne Athugala said today that all media institutions should take the responsibility for the assault on journalists during yesterday’s incident in Weliweriya and said the government could not be held responsible for it.

Speaking in Matale he said there were times when he too was helpless at times, wondering if he should resign from his post and commence his previous job at the University. (Kanchana Kumara Ariyadasa)
