Silumina to be sued for falsely defaming that Ranil had talks with LTTE leaders : Rs. 500 million claimed in damages and sale of Silumina in UK to be banned

(Lanka-e-News- 19.Oct.2014, 11.45PM) While even in the Audit report it is stated that the secretary of the foreign Ministry of the Rajapakse regime had made an overpayment of Rs. 20 million slyly without duly following tender procedures to P. T. Thurairaja , an LTTE leader who was even under arrest of the Swiss Police , the Rajapakse regime that is remaining blind to all these anti national and perfidious activities , had used its Silumina newspapers to publish a most abominable news canard that Ranil Wickremesinghe the opposition leader during his recent London tour met with the LTTE leaders.

In the Silumina dated 19th was to be published under the caption ‘who is the opposition politico behind the lifting of the ban on the LTTE?’ supported by an article written by T. Chandrasekeran and a photograph. At the bottom ,this is related to a discussion supposedly held by Ranil with the Tamil Diaspora in London.

A detailed probe conducted into this by Lanka e news had proved this report is an absolute lie. In the photograph in question is a group of officers of the UNP branch , and all of them are Sinhalese out and out . In the left are :
Indika Kumara –UNP member of the London branch executive committee member.

Dharshana Denzil – UNP London branch secretary

Roshan Samantha Yapa – UNP London branch youth front treasurer.

Ranil Wickremesinghe – UNP leader

Harshaka Kannangara – UNP London branch President

In connection with this deliberate calculate falsehood concocted by the government published by the Rajapakse regime newspaper Silumina , steps have already been taken and legal advice sought to file court action in London claiming Sterling pounds 2 million (Rs. 500 million in SL rupees approximately ) as damages against this defamation and contumelia, the former President of the UNP London branch Harsha Siriwardena told Lanka e news. He also added that an injunction order against the sale of the Silumina newspaper in UK is to be shortly obtained . ‘The government Silumina newspaper which does not expose anything , nor write a word against the government’s mollycoddling and pampering of the LTTE leaders KP, Karuna , Thamalini and Daya master has deemed it right to write defamatory and vilifying reports about us falsely linking us with the Tigers,’ Siriwardena bemoaned.
