Dejan Radojevic from the South Asia Hub will be leading the Sinhala Service, a BBC spokesperson, Paul Rasmussen told Colombo Telegraph today.
The BBC probe into all aspects of its Sinhala Service’s activities is still proceeding, Colombo Telegraph learns. The BBC Sinhala Service journalists are being asked by the BBC to participate in the ongoing investigation accompanied by lawyers or trade union representatives if they wish and some of them have already given evidence to the inquiry panel.
BBC is yet to reply why he has been removed.

@pearl thevanayagam – November 21
“Pryath was a victim of in group rivalry since he held an unenviable piosition as the Head of sinhala Service at BBC World Service. He is an innocent victim of those who wnated to step into his shes. . I am sure BBC will serve him justice when all this nonsense of some stage manged coup against him dies down and he is once more re-instated as Head of Sinhala Service”
Looking forward to BREAKING NEWS from Pearl and Pryath.

I am sure that Priyath Liyanage has been propagating the Sinhala Buddhist extremist views using the BBC.
Also many in the BBC Sinhala service must have been doing the same as their head: They all carry the distorted Mahavamsa mind set, don’t they?

What has happend to Chandana K Bandara?
The seemingly righteous, brave journo
who said he was incorruptible. He sought
a million rupees from the Sri Lanka
government. Where is he now?

The lesson at the end of the day – twisting the news
and doctoring the views will not serve. It gets
discovered.
First, the UK MPs were bought over with cash rewards,
air tickets and luxury holidays. Then the once highly
credible Sandeshaya fell for this trap. Those running
the show found more Sterling Pounds to play around and
forgot about their sacred duty. The service will soon
be closed down. It is shameful it has to happen for the
only reason of corruption.

The fact that Chandana Keerthi Bandara
applied for a Sri Lanka Government loan
is proof that he would be heavily obliged
and bent towards the regime.
This alone would have been enough for the
BBC high ups to determine where his
professional loyalties lay. Why did they
keep quiet?
For many many months Sandeshaya reports
have been angled towards government. The
tilt was very evident but the fools at
Bush House were unaware they were being
taken for a good bullock cart ride by
Priyath, Chandana and other bulls in
media clothing.
