Navy Commander assaulting mediaman -- Says right! Says wrong!

The video camera reporter Roshan Dilip Kumara who was at the location where employess of the Hambantota Ports protest was in full swing yesterday in Hambantota to cover the proceedings there was reprimanded in harsh words and even assaulted by Commander of Naval Forces Vice Admiral Ravindra Wijegunaratna and the incident has created a big sensation. At the moment the news reporter had shouted out and furnished his identity card the Commander of the Naval Force who at that time was adorned in a pair of shorts and a T-shirt
has been indulging in a disgusting type of behaviour and it is observed in the video below. 

The Naval Commander not showing any respect towards the media identity card is a matter of grave concern, as indicated in the announcement issued by Sri Lanka Media Cameramen Association. It is further mentioned there that neglecting the media which reports all heroic deeds of the Navy is surprising. It is also stated that the mediaman Rohan who was a victim of the assault had been unaware that it was the Navy Commander who was his assailant. 

Whatever it is, the Director General of the Government Information Department Dr. Ranga Kalansuriya said that the said mediaman had failed to pay attention to exercise the minimum steps of ethics during the environment of the conflict and also remaining there further by turning a deaf ear to the orders of the Navy Commander and that not obeying orders of the Navy is a mistake. What the Secretary of Defence Mr. Karunasena Hettiarachchi stated was that the manner in which the Commander of the Navy and the battalion of Navy officers had comported themselves cannot be found fault with and that they had told the 'media to move away from the place a little ... but the reporter didn't do so'. He finally said that he had told the police to conduct an inquiry in connection with the incident and to present him with a report. The video recorded by Derana Channel, from below
