The ruling UPFA government claims the so called disappearance of a journalist attached to Lanka e News web site is a “staged drama” and has lodged a complaint over this with the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mahinda Balasuriya.

We have evidence to prove this and we produced the evidence to the IGP, Minister Susil Premajantha said. (S.D)

Abudctions and 'white vans' - this era will soon end and life will prevail, as it should, in our Buddhist country!

That is their standard response whenever there is an abduction. At the end of the day, the CID or the Police will say he was "arrested". For God's sake, it is high time this sort of harassment is stopped for ever in this country.

HE IS NO JOURNALIST. ALL HE DID WAS TO SLING MUD RIGHT THROUGHOUT. HE IS A DISGRACE TO JOURNALISTIC FRATERNITY SIMILAR TO HUDSON OF THE GOVERNMENT. NO DIFFERENCE

Tell me anybody what this govt has NOT done...!!!

Shame...

Tuesday, 26 January 2010 12:48 AM

Why can't Government or its police or the CID or the forces trace the man, because the say they have evidence and produce him in court or at a news conference. Seeing is believeing!

Tuesday, 26 January 2010 12:45 AM

Agreed. The Govt must be thinking we are Japanese performing Hara Kiri. They must be thinking all citizens of this country are idiots.

It's called "A Guilty Conscience"

Tuesday, 26 January 2010 12:41 AM

True. First the Green Card and then Citizenship. We have been shown "HOW" by the high-ups in power.

This guy is hiding - he was paid to do so - paid in Euros?

Monday, 25 January 2010 07:20 PM

How can we believe what you say, Mr. Minister?

Monday, 25 January 2010 06:22 PM

LankaeNews - spreading false news! Ha .. ha .., what a day to disappear ... nice election 'gundu' form the SF camp!

Monday, 25 January 2010 06:21 PM

No, he has just gone 'for a walk in the woods'!

Monday, 25 January 2010 02:33 PM

That mud lorry in Kurunegala was also staged?

Monday, 25 January 2010 06:10 PM

Indirectly, hinting that the journalist was taken-in for questioning?

Monday, 25 January 2010 05:44 PM

WHAT A JOKE! First you say that the grenade attack on Tiran's house "was done by Tiran himself, to gain sympathy." Now, this?

Monday, 25 January 2010 04:30 PM

every time they said they have evidence but that evidence not come out

Monday, 25 January 2010 03:54 PM

IF YOU ARE SO SURE, HE MUST BE WITH YOU?

Monday, 25 January 2010 03:48 PM

Name of drama "THOTHTHABABALA".

Monday, 25 January 2010 03:37 PM

Who said UPFA is responsible ?.

Monday, 25 January 2010 03:13 PM

yeah, everything for MR is staged, except for their deeds

Monday, 25 January 2010 03:11 PM

Who is fooling whom is the big question for the public like me

Monday, 25 January 2010 02:59 PM

Don't think every one is a Muzzamil or Weerawansa.

Life in Sri Lanka is a Drama isn't It, and all Politicians are Stage Actors. The Population, I have to be hard on them, are Very Gullible and Foolish and Often absolutly and Plain Stupid, Our Sri Lankan folly,pain and anguish is a result of this, Sri Lanka's suffering since indepence, proves that all this is so very true. The only solution for Sri Lanka is to forget all party Politics and proceed toward forming a National Government, With Proffessionals implementing proper policies toward making our nation part of the Global Village, right now we seem be Wallowing in our own Garbage and suffering dearly for it.
Polics really stinks in our country and if it is tolerated further it will create far more tensions and pain than we can immagine, after all the Conflict for 30 years was initially caused by them, due to selfish and petty minded Decisions made by these Play actors.

Monday, 25 January 2010 02:54 PM

Don't worry Mr Minister, it is for a Green Card.

Monday, 25 January 2010 02:34 PM

To be able to convincingly say that he was not abducted, only proves that they were behind previous abductions!!!
