She has cited a CID source while reporting that Ekneligoda had been moved from Giritale camp where he had been kept, to Welikanda range. On the other hand, the earlier week's "Sathhanda" conveyed the same data, and significantly more.
What Edirisinghe had done was to get affirmation of that data and compose an article.
She had been summoned to the CID on the 30th and CID authorities had requested that she uncovered the name of the officer who had given her the data. Whenever reached, Edirisinghe said to us that she had let them know that the police had no privilege at all to request a columnist to uncover sources. Additionally, she said that what she had reported had already been distributed in other media, and asked them for what reason they needed to think around a specific article, when she had composed such a large number of articles in regards to the Ekneligoda episode. CID authorities had advised her that they were examining on a request from the chain of importance.
At any rate, passing by the occurrences that had occurred, it is currently clear that cops are not uninformed of the law, but rather that they are in effect politically pressurized. A couple of modest priests are unmistakably taking the law into their own particular hands and attempting to control the media as indicated by their wishes.
As to the Ekneligoda occurrence, the finger is pointed at an individual from the occupant bureau, who was additionally a pastor in the Rajapaksa administration.
Additionally, we have gotten data that indicate a pastor having affected the CID to make a roundabout danger to "Sathhanda" daily paper as of late.
