Govt. working to reduce public democratic rights, Mujibur Rahman alleges

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Former Parliamentarian Mujibur Rahman alleges that the government is working to curtail the democratic rights of the people of the country
including the freedom of speech, pretending that it is necessary to stabilize the country and the economy.Joining a press briefing held in
Colombo today (27), the former Parliamentarian expressed that a question arises as to whether it is the duty of the Ministry of Mass Media
or the police to bring laws and bills regarding mass media and social media.Commenting further, he stressed that earlier, the bills and laws
related to media were brought by the Ministry of Mass Media, and that there may be an ulterior motive in bringing the Social Media
Regulation Bill by the Minister of Justice.
