Jayasinghe      The Mahanayaka of the Malawatte Chapter the most Venerable Tibbotuwawe  Sri Siddhartha Sumangala Thera said yesterday it was a grave crime to  imprison a war hero who had done an immense service to Sri Lanka in its  fight to eradicate terrorism.      “Even if such a person does something wrong he should be pardoned,” the  Mahanayake Thera said.     The Prelate expressed his views when missing Lanka e news journalist  Pradeep Ekneligoda’s wife and two children met him in Kandy yesterday.      “The peoples’ right to know the truth has to be safeguarded. For the  people to know the real situation of the country, the truth should be  written. Everyone has the right to know the truth. The truth should not  be hidden. Depriving that right is not democracy,”     mahanayake decries Fonseka’s Arrest  the Prelate said.  “Various political party leaders come to us dressed  in white attire and seek our advice. They just listen to what we say  and do something different. I have an entire file of letters sent by  innocent  people who have been victimized for voting for the other side. Some people in Anuradhapura and Matara are afraid to stay in their  homes at night and are hiding in the forest fearing for their lives.  What is the need of a leader who harasses poor people? When casting  their vote the voters should know not to send this sort of people to  such positions. If this situation continues we will not be able to see  development in the country. People who were around Mr. Fonseka have been  imprisoned. Their families have become destitute. Is this democracy,”  the Mahanayake asked     “No one listens to what we say. I also cannot do anything. The leaders  don’t listen to what I say. I feel like stopping politicians from coming  to this temple to meet me. Is it democracy to abduct journalists who  reveal the truth? Even a media organization was sealed recently,” he  said.      At the meeting and on behalf of the National Intellectual Collective  Professor Oliver Abeynayake handed over a document to the chief prelate  regarding the abduction of journalist Ekneligoda who is still missing.<a href="http://www.dailymirror.lk/print/index.php/component/content/article/129-front-page/3352.html" target="_blank">DM</a>[YOUTUBE]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cQDdZflECek&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cQDdZflECek&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/YOUTUBE]anduweta kade yan ne nathiwa katha karanawa <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" />TRUTH</blockquote>
