Refugees @ Negombo police - came to #lka fleeing persecution in their countries. But beaten & homes attacked, evicted by homeowners. Hounded by local goons in every shelter. Detained for hours in two buses & finally holed up in a garage of a police station. #EasterSundayAttackLk

This man is the Governor of Meghalaya!

* He violates the Constitutional ideal of "fraternity".
* He is guilty of spreading enmity between communities.
* He lowers the dignity of a constitutional office.

He should be dismissed forthwith. RT if you agree.
