On the one hand, we have the militarisation of public security, including the control of the Police force which is to be raised to 100,000 members, supplementing the ongoing (Chinese-style) “grid management” neighbourhood and village-level system of intelligence gathering. On the other hand, we have an insensitive policy about the dead bodies of Muslims; a policy that is not only heartless but also brainless, since the true story of the burning of the body of an infant can generate waves of shock, horror, and outrage, across the Muslim community not only in Sri Lanka but also in the region and throughout the world, thereby breeding radicalisation and extremism – Pic by Shehan Gunasekara
