Media go barefoot at Wimal-Karuna meeting
2008-10-23 17:25:15

Journalists covering today’s meeting between newly appointed MP Vinyagamoorthy Muralitharan alias Karuna and MP Wimal Weerawansa were asked to remove their footwear before entering the premises for apparent security reasons.

A notice was placed at the entrance to Mr.Weerawansa’s party office at Battaramulla asking that footwear be removed prior to entering the building.

However this rule did not apply to the other invitees as well as the body guards of the two men.

Adding insult to injury was the fact that the media personnel were made to wait four hours for the meeting to take place.
