Sara Demands Apology From Lankadeepa; Denies CBK – Sunethra – Special Canadian Rep Meeting Story

Denying the story carried by the Sinhala daily Lankadeepa “Karaliye Perali” Column, Dr. Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu says that he was out of Sri Lanka from the 10th to the 17thNovember and never met with any “special representatives” from Canada on the beaches of Koggala before the CHOGM or since.

Lankadeepa Columnist wrote; Dr. Saravanamuttu along with former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga and Ms. Sunethra Bandaranaike engaged in a “special discussion on the politics of the country” on the “Koggala beaches” with “special representatives” from Canada.

We publish below the letter to Lankadeepa in full;

Dear Sir,

I am writing to you with regard to a reference to me in your newspaper of today in a Column titled “Karaliye Perali” by Ranjana.

The reference to me states that during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting held recently in Colombo, I, along with former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga and Ms. Sunethra Bandaranaike engaged in a “special discussion on the politics of the country” on the “Koggala beaches “with “special representatives “ from Canada.  Your columnist goes on to state

“We have come to know that the government and the President were subjected to severe criticism in this discussion.

The above reference to me in a newspaper that claims to uphold the highest standards of media professionalism and ethics is indeed both shocking and depressing.  The reference to me demonstrates a shoddy disregard for accuracy in reportage. I was out of Sri Lanka from the 10th to the 17thNovember and never met with any “special representatives “from Canada on the beaches of Koggala before the CHOGM or since.

Accordingly, please publish this letter in full in the next edition of your newspaper and with the same prominence accorded to the column in which the reference to me appears.  Furthermore as a newspaper that claims to engage in serious journalism, I expect your organization will also publish an apology for this blatantly inaccurate and misleading reportage concerning me.

Please note, if my letter is not published as requested, I will have no choice but to consider recourse to other means of ensuring my rights are protected.

In the public interest, I will be releasing this letter to the media.

Yours sincerely

Dr. Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu

    Lankadeepaya, Daily News, Times, On server, The Island , theDaily morror are all infested with Shills of the regime.

    So take the stories with a bag of salt.

    All those are Shills or liars, and the Regime Dogs..

      So, Lankadeepa may be wrong with respect to the exact dates. I don’t think Lankadeepa is wrong with respect to the happened incident.

      Can Saravanamuththu deny the connections with “Sunethra ?????” and CBK ?

        Jim Softy,

        Even by your established low standards there is a level to which one can sink. What is wrong in Dr. Saravanamuttu knowing the Bandaranaike sisters at close quarters. Every one has a private
        space in their personal lives that should not be violated – a
        principle scrupulously respected by decent men and women all over.
        Clearly you do not fit into that cultured grouping.

        Fact is that CBK is the only alternative to the current regime. She MUST run as the JOINT OPPOSITION candidate. The SInhala masses are fed up of Rajapassa, brothers and sons and their CORRUPTION and longing to have CBK back – since Ranil is such a looser and Sarath FOnseka a war criminal like Rajapassa.

        Why should he deny having contact with CBK any body connected with politics of this country. Since we live in free country anybody has a soverign right to engage with any person connected with past or present politics.
        Why should this nut or the writer of lankadeepa bother about who is having contacts with anybody.
        Does these fellows think that each and every person should take permission from the regime, to discuss the current politics of the country” What nonsense.

    Civil Tiger Paisiakothy holds political strategy meets,with the ex President.to roll the current one.

    When the National Newspapers which cater to the great majority of the inhabitant population reports it .Mr Paikiasothy has the audacity to demand apologies.

    And the LTTE proxy TNA Leader is crying in Parliament to tell the “whole world” that him and his supporters have no freedom, no dignity, no nothing….

    You people are once again at each others throats. Dr.Sara has made his point clear. Lankadeepa has to admit they are wrong and that’s it. Period. It’s a shame you people try to split hairs over nothing. No wonder Sri Lanka is facing problems from outside forces. Grow up!

    Well, there is something called video conferencing. No need for paki to be physically at Koggala. It is quite easy for him to be at the meeting, virtual. So what he states may be correct, and what Lankadeepa states may also be correct. I am sure the educated readers would make their own judgment.

    Silly mudslinging by sycophantic newspapers. While Sara is a known critic of this regime, he also lives in la-la land. He and Sunethra B are very “close” but everyone has a right to private and personal relationships. He has refuted the allegations and it can be very easily proven in a court of law by looking at the date-stamps on his passport.. Lankadeepa carries water for the family run empire and they have no choice. Dirty attacks by sycophants are the norm now in our great Dhammadeepa(cough cough).

    Pakiasothy the NGO kaaka is paid by
    the Americans. This is why he and
    his so called Centre for Police
    Alternatives have lost all credibility.

    He boasts that he can do anything
    with the US Embassy in Colombo and
    the State Department in Washington DC.

    Little wonder, Uncle Sam is sometimes
    called ugly American. That is only
    a handful in the policy establishment who
    promote lackeys like this in the process
    creating more and more enemies.

    I don’t know the veracity of this Paki’s
    claim. But he should take that up with
    the Lankadeepa. There is money for jam –
    Business Class trips etc etc So Paki is
    living it up.

    I thought Paikiyasothy is for freedom of expression and press freedom. Why try to gag them through court orders? Paikiyasothy’s anti SL conspiracies in cohorts with Western governments & their reps are well known ‘secrets’.

      Dr Saravanamuthu is not gagging them, he is asking for a retraction of the flase claims. If you think that is gagging the press then you do not understand the definition of “gagging”.

    Even his other secrets
    are too public now
    though he claims he
    was not on the beach.
    Why do you need the
    beach when you have
    a good bedroom. Keep
    on doing it, old Paki
    boy. You and your
    polkattu accent are
    no match for your
    skulduggery.

      Through CHOGM it became clearer… now every one is aware of the fact. that you Raja is alleged war criminal. Earlier Ceylon, Srilanka was known to anybody as the country where Ms Bandaranayake was born – as the first female PM for entire world, but today, what the westerners ask me is- oh Srilanka, where Rajapakshes -highly corrupted canibalists that deliberatedly took the lives of innocent tamil civilians in the end of the war.
      That is the ground reality. you and the ilk would take light years to get this though.
