Archbishop of Colombo His Eminence Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith speaking to media in Colombo today (20) condemned the shooting at Rambukkana and urged the government to call in an independent probe and penalise those responsible.
The Cardinal also urged the government to immediately stop the repression of innocent people who are engaged in protests due to the unbearable economic hardship by illegal means.
He also reminded that protests should be carried out in a dignified and just manner without being deceived by forces who use tactics to weaken them from within.
