Killy-Dilith in media campaign to save Tiran

Friday, 24 April 2015 

Killy Maharaja (the plumber) and Dilith Jayaweera are involved in a media campaign to save businessman MP Tiran Alles who has become bankrupt due to his media business. Tiran’s Ceylon Newspapers (Pvt.) Ltd., the publisher of ‘Ceylon Today’ and ‘Mawbima’, is facing closure.

The number of journalists and other staffers who had left the company since its inception is four to five times its existing staff. The reason is that the owner’s constant interference in the duties of the editorials. That was not second to the intimidation the media had to undergo during the previous Rajapaksa regime. Killy’s MTV/MBC Media Network and Dilith’s Derana are now trying to whitewash Tiran. The reason that has brought the trio together is their common stance of opposing Ranil Wickremesinghe. They are abusing their institutions to throw mud politically and personally at him.

Due to the political and business games he had played, Tiran is facing ruin, and adding to that, his connections with the LTTE too, now have come to light. Killy and Dilith have taken up the responsibility of whitewashing all those garbage, but what they should understand that Tiran should be born again if his wrongdoings are to be rectified.
