Government MP Arundika Fernando who dropped a bombshell in parliament stating that missing journalist Prageeth Eknaligoda was living in France, came up with more revelations today saying that the missing journalist was introduced to him by another media personnel Manjula Wediwardene in France recently.

Mr. Fernando who raised a privilege issue in Parliament today said Mr. Wediwardene introduced a bald headed man as Eknaligoda during his recent visit to France. He said this person slipped away without talking to him.

He said Eknaligoda had been among those who had come to sabotage a pro Sri Lankan protest in Geneva recently. Mr Fernando said Eknaligoda had come with journalist Sunanda Deshapriya who had turned up wearing a turban.

“ Such persons who had gone against their motherland should be brought back to Sri Lanka in the same way they fled the country even if they are being held there by certain organizations or individuals,” he said adding that intelligence units is currently working on it within a legal framework.

Mr. Fernando who hit out at Eknaligoda’s wife Sandya Eknaligoda said she had made a statement blaming the government for her husband’s disappearance. He said Ms. Eknaligoda should have met him to find out more information if she really loved her husband. “It is a shame on her to become a cat’s paw of certain people and issue various statements,” Mr. Fernando said.

He also said Ms. Eknaligoda had made it clear that she was aware of her husband’s whereabouts from the way she behaved. Mr. Fernando therefore said she had acted in an unpatriotic manner.

So now he says he has seen a bald headed man who was introduced as Eknaligoda. He now sounds not too sure. This man has to be grilled by the opposition and the International community for making false statements. The coverup word is "Patriot".

Anyone can introduce anybody are Prageeth. Does that mean it was Prageeth Eknaligoda This is all because there is no accountability is what you do or say in Sri Lanka. Looks like is backtracking from accountability.

Manjula Wediwardene is already denied this on BBC. The MP thinks all sri lankan are fools? May be he is correct as we used to be like that in most of the cases.

Could be true, but why on earth did this "Manjula Wediwardene" introduce Prageeth Eknaligoda to a GoSL MP in the 1st place?

Mp Arundika should go to Angoda Mental Hospital to get his head examine. Shame on him .he is the biggest Lier in the parliment.

There, is some credible news that he is living in Sweden or Switzerland. And may be he has come to visit France. Anyway if Sri Lanka government make a formal demand through foreign ministry from the those governments saying that need to know really about him as he is claimed as killed in sri Lanka.I think our government will get the answer.It is also said that he is calling to his wife through Skype not through phones.

Just when somebody shows somebody, saying he is so and so...our learned MP's are trusting them and comes and announce that so and so is living in France.

He should have adopted a better course of action to see whether it was actually Eknaligoda living there and then make the announcement.
