In the great tradition of banning everything that moves, Minister Sumedha Jayasena has stated that the government is considering banning the use of mobile phones by children. Isn’t this an unjustified intrusion by government into a decision best left to parents?

If one is member of a 100 cabinet holding some obscure portfolio one has to do certain things just for visibility. Otherwise how can ‘Loku Sir’ know about their existence? I think this move too is something like that. Do we have to take it so seriously?
