All journalists, including Sandaruwan Senadheera of Lanka E news, who are said to have disappeared, are living abroad, government MP Arundika Fernando told Parliament today.

He said Mr. Senadeera was running the Lankaenews website from London.

Mr. Fernando said it was questionable how these journalists obtained political asylum overseas.

Citing an example, he said journalist Sunanda Deshapriya had no reason to flee the country. He said Mr. Deshapriya’s brother would not have been appointed to the post of Elections Commissioner if this government was opposed to journalists.

UNP MP Ajith P Perera said Mr. Fernando should not use his parliamentary privilege to say nonsensical things. (Yohan Perera)

This fool Arundika has become wiser and is trying to evade the direct questions put to him. Did he meet Pradeep Eknaligoda in France? when? Did he reveal same to law enforcement authorities, immediately? Why if not?

Do you have anything to say about journalist Lasantha Wickramtunga's murder?

Manel Thursday, 20 June 2013 10:20 PM

If all these journalists are alive why did they leave the country. Speaks volumes about freedom of press in the "Miracle of Asia".

This clown is yet another mouthpiece for Him Who Rules on High.
Diversions galore, the only thing being that, like DIG Vaas Gunawardena, they might find themselves expendable!
