JVP too in the mudslinging against Prageeth ? media secretary of EPDP leader sends letter to JVP leader: Tilvin deny

(Lanka-e-News -30.Aug.2015, 9.30PM) While a wealth of information is surfacing in the investigations into the abduction and murder of Prageeth Eknelyagoda pertiaining to Gotabaya Rajapakse and his clan who were actually responsible for Prageeth’s  murder , unscrupulous media coolies who are close to Gotabaya for a long time are engaged most shamelessly and ruthlessly in slinging mud at murdered Prageeth via the media.

The two media so involved are those run by Ruwan Ferdinands and Uvindu Kurukulasooriya two low bred stooges of Gotabaya.

A similar mudslinging is being carried on by a website of the JVP that  posts news in Tamil. The media secretary Nelsen Edirisinghe of Douglas Devananda the leader of the EPDP has sent a letter in this regard to JVP leader Anura Dissanayake.

The first mudslinging was done by the mud website run by Uvindu Kurukulasooriya. It falsely revealed most derogatorily  that Prageeth lived with a woman from Matale , and when  he comes down to Colombo , he did not reside in his house. It vilified Prageeth most insolently and maliciously reported that Prageeth stayed at the residence of Douglas Devananda’s media secretary when he is in Colombo.

These stories defamatory of Pargeeth were published in the Tamil website run in the name of the JVP.

The reply sent by Nelsen Edirisinghe to JVP Leader Anura Dissanayake  is hereunder…. 

Mr. Anura Kumara Dissanayake
Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna
464/20, Pannipitiya road,

Dear Mr. Anura Kumara Dissanayake,

 ‘Douglas associated with Prageeth abduction’ 

I wish to draw your kind attention to  the news report on 2015-08 -17 under the above  caption in your party website www.jvpnewscom in Tamil language.

This report is absolutely false and is aimed at vilifying both the EPDP party and its leader Douglas Devananda. Specially when  Douglas Devananda is about to extend support to the proposed national government , and is being reported ,your website giving huge publicity by publishing a false news report is a matter for concern.

Ekneliyagoda the journalist never stayed with me in a house in Colombo any day , as portrayed by you falsely. Besides,  the CID , the police or any other Institution that is conducting investigation into the disappearance of Ekneliyagoda had never questioned me on this . 

The website www.jvpnews.com which is in the name of your party ,even previously slung mud at Douglas Devananda by publishing a number of bogus news reports. Moreover , a number of news reports were published continuously against  national reconciliation which are contradictory to your party policies. Against these  false and  misleading  news reports, we drew  your attention  on many occasions ,but we have to recall with  regret that your party failed to take any remedial action.

Our political opponents on purpose hurled accusations     against our party in regard to several  assassinations including  General Hector Kobbekaduwa, Athulathmudali, Raviraj and  Maheshwaran .In some of these murders , the culprits had been punished following court verdicts .

In the present political climate , it is evident this false publicity is  being carried on again with the objective of slinging mud at our party.

Prageeth Ekneliyagoda had cordial relations with me and Douglas Devananda. At the same time he had  wide and varied social connections, and a large number of friends. Among those who were most grieved over Prageeth’s disappearance were myself and Devananda. Although they are saying he stayed with me in Colombo at my house , I did not have a house in Colombo any day.

Since 1990 , for over 25 years , I am living with the Hon. Minister Douglas Devananda .These website  false news reports can only be construed as an effort exclusively aimed at fastening the blame on the wrong people. In  addition ,it can be said, these are maneuvers to mislead the on going investigations and divert it along  a different direction .

Myself and my party are ever ready to extend the fullest support to the investigation into Prageeth’s disappearance , and it is our fervent hope that the actual culprits will be exposed before long , so that society will know who they are.

The misleading   news was repeated  by other media , and measures are being taken to copy this letter to them to put the record right , might we add.

Nelsen  S. Edirisinghe
Media secretary to Mr. Douglas Devananda

Meanwhle Tilvin silva secretary of JVP speaking regarding the relevant news item said, “First it has to be told that so far the JVP has not received a letter from Mr. Dougles Devananda. Also, the website that has published the news item is not one connected with the JVP. Social media websites are maintained using various names. There are many instances of maintaining such websites and publishing various fabrications through them. We have told the media that the particular websites has no connection with the JVP.
