Govt. supporters forcibly paste election posters on Assist. election Comm.’s vehicle!!! –thank lawlessness or the Govt. for these violations?

The alarming proportions lawlessness in the country has reached and the open election law violations practiced by the ruling party with impunity was clearly demonstrated yesterday (28) when the Assist. Elections Commissioner’s car was pasted with a number of election stickers of a Govt. politician by a group of his supporters forcibly. This incident occurred when the elections officer was going home after work at about 8.30 p.m. on the Sri Jayawardenapura Parliament route.

The Elections officer has resisted this, and has had a tussle with the Govt. politico supporters. The Assist elections Commissioner has lodged a complaint with the Welikade police yesterday night itself.
