The son of Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa said that he will never condone the blocking of social media.
?I will never condone the blocking of social media. The availability of VPN, just like I?m using now, makes such bans completely useless. I urge the authorities to think more progressively and reconsider this decision,? the Minister said.
