Tiran wanted statement from astrologer to say News Web article incorrect!

 Saturday, 02 August 2014 

Owner of ‘Mawbima’ Tiran Alles is demanding renowned astrologer P.D. Perera of Nattandiya to issue a public statement to say that contents of the article we published on July 21 (Tiran’s astrology lessons to P.D. Perera!) are false, internal sources at the newspaper say.

He has pleaded to the astrologer, “Those in News Web are an ungrateful lot. They do not remember any of the favours I had done for them. Mr. Perera, make a statement to our newspaper that the news is false. Then, I can take that statement to London and file action against them. Please do me that favour.”

P.D. Perera’s response was, “What the News Web carried was complete truth. How can I say it is false? Even if I am sacked, I cannot make such false statements.”

Then, Tiran has ordered the ‘Mawbima’ management not to allow the astrologer to enter the newspaper office.

‘Mawbima’ managing editor Thushara Gunaratne, who is miles ahead of Tiran in craftiness, used his brains and told Tiran to take a printout of the News Web article and see the defence secretary immediately and tell him that this was how they were supporting him. According to the sources, Tiran has done exactly what Thushara has advised him to do.

Meanwhile, P.D. Perera is looking into the possibility of filing a case against Tiran for having belittled him.
