We need to read this event contextually with what happened in the past .Rumours should avoided and yet we must take precautions as well

This is how the public money is wasted in Sri Lanka...Just warned him and give a precaution. Wisdom and common sense must prevail in cases like this ... you don't go with the letter of the law rather look into the spirit of the law ..Did this moulavi intentionally do it or by mistake..

Are we to believe this? This government takes threats seriously and acts on information promptly. Cheap tactic to gain political mileage.

We don't know whether the news was initially intended to cause DISTRACTION ? These are now common games .
