Original Sinhala Article: https://www.vikalpa.org/article/44977

The source(vikalpa.org - Sinhala Article by Sampath Samarakoon) expresses significant concern regarding the abrupt cancellation of a purchase order for the 'Anidda' newspaper by a state-affiliated company in Sri Lanka, Lanka Mineral Sands Company. This action is presented not as a simple economic decision, but as a political signal indicating the National People's Power (NPP) government's intolerance for critical media content. The text suggests that this move reflects a lack of courage within the government to intellectually address criticism. Furthermore, the source draws a parallel between this event and China's media model, which ranks 172nd out of 178 countries in press freedom, raising fears that Sri Lanka's close ties with China could lead to a suppression of media independence and pluralism. The author, Sampath Samarakoon, emphasizes that economic pressure on independent media like 'Anidda' is a direct threat to media freedom and democratic values in Sri Lanka.
