Journalist Murder Mystery & Stabbing Upali Thennakoon
They said it is Sirasa who attacked themselves. Well, it sounds sort of like a lie I used to tell my mother when I was a kid, after breaking stuff she specifically warned me not to touch. “It is not me. A cat walks in, broke the sugar jar, eat two chocolates, and run a way”. But then again, it can be true too. May be it was a cat. Maybe it was Sirasa who destroyed their own premises. Well, if that is the case, I can’t blame them either. Have you seen some of their programs? Sometime even I entertain thoughts of destroying my own television box, when I see some of their programs. But I always have my remote-control next to me and with a press of a button I can turn it off and go read a book.
Then I heard the news, they kill Lasantha. And I was upset. Not that I read anything he wrote. Because he was part of the surrounding I grow up in. I think, I felt just the same way we all suppose to feel when someone we know got shot on the head on the way to work, Thursday morning. Upset. Tell you the truth; I didn’t know how I’m supposed to feel like in such an occasion. But now I do. We don’t know who did it. Governing party say it is the patriots, and the opposition say is the government. Patriots say it is the opposition. I don’t know who to believe, because it is not their job to investigate such activity in the first place, it belongs to the noble institute call Police. I assume our Police busy these days with other important activity like cleaning up moonshiners or catching cat-burglars, and as soon as they succeeded in that, they will look in to this matter with most interest. Till then we have to wait.
But meanwhile they went on stabbing, another journalist, Upali Thennakoon, on his face. Now I can’t really think who did it or why they did that sort of terrible thing. Mr. Thennakoon is a deferent journalist than Lasantha. I think. He even don’t have wikipedia page. He was the Divaina Editor, if I remember correctly; he helps this government quite a lot. And Rivira is not a controversial newspaper like Lasantha’s newspaper either. That is fairly decent newspaper and he is a decent journalist. May be it is a conspiracy to make the government look bad as they say, so they stab an unbiased journalist too. But that’s the same thing government said when it was Lasantha, a critic of this government too. Now I’m confused. Don’t you?
Since we are playing the conspiracy game, I’m at liberty to make my own conclusions. So, maybe it was the government who killed Lasantha, and then stabs Upali too, just to make it looks like it is someone else. I have seen that sort of storied in detective dramas. Or maybe it is the LTTE, freely roaming around our capital city, stabbing and killing people as they wish, while we are busy north part of the country looking for them. Or maybe it is the UNP, because they have nothing else to do these days.
No matter who is doing this, this need to be stopped. This is not helping anyone. If it is a conspiracy as government says, they have full responsibility to produce conspirators front of a Jury. But I don’t have much hope about that. So like we always do when we are in trouble, we look above and beg for help, from Europe. So I strongly suggest all the remaining journalists, pursuit your happiness elsewhere, apply for political asylum you are rightfully deserve. Don’t try to be noble like Upali Thennakoon and stay in this country, a scar on your face or a big parade to your funeral not worth it.
So friends, Run.

But what about the ones who cannot afford to run? What about the responsibility we all have to make sure that the evil don't take over country, what about the Hope that we should have about our future despite some things look gloomy?
ok seriously if the UNP or LTTE(or any other conspirator) wanted to blame the government would they chose a non-critic of the government? On the other what if the government wanted to put the blame on the UNP or wanted to differ the attention on itself? So if i have to chose between the government or any other i would pick the government. But can't be sure about this case.
Why would the government want to stab the Rivira editor. From what I know, the man's not at all against the war.
