KTR after the undies of Colombo Leader editor.

Pillaiyan says ‘get lost’ to KTR

(November,18, London/Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) The frustrated editor of Asian Tribune K T Rajasingham (KTR) has taken a vicious path to discredit the Colombo Leader editor Ms. Sonali Samarasinghe for writing startling revelation about his secret deal with the President of Sri Lanka in Geneva in June 2007.

In a long winded article in the Asian Tribune, the 75 year old frustrated editor writing under a pseudonym name ‘Media Watchman’ has castigated the Colombo Leader editor ‘Ms. Samarasinghe was corrupt to the core’ and states ‘those who live in glass houses should not lift their sarongs or sarees too high’. In his concluding remarks KTR makes a rudimentary statement: ‘After her (Ms Sonali Samarasinghe) driver left refusing to put her undies to dry it is said in Canberra that it was her boy friend who obliged her whenever he secretively visited his blue-eyed girl in Canberra’.

KTR is still to respond to the revelations in the Sunday Leader instead has embarked on a vicious and venomous campaign to emit hatred, making to believe he is unreservedly accepting all the allegations about his corrupt dealings with the President of Sri Lanka. If the deal with the President had gone ahead, the man would have gained over millions of Euros from the government. KTR and the government are still maintaining silence over how much of the agreed sum was parted the government coffers so far.

KTR’s hate campaign is no different to hate campaigns of the LTTE web media. He is still to venture into vulgar graphical portrayals. A desperate man will do desperate things and in desperation he too will do anything like what LTTE does.

KTR from his den in Sweden is now trying to play the game of ‘lifting his sarong’ to reflect his proverbial hate expecting the Colombo Leader editor to ‘return in kind’. He knows further revelations of his many nefarious and underhand dealings will be surfacing in a big way, including the one when he demanded money to publish an appeal for clemency for the Sri Lankan maid Rizana Nafeek held on murder charges in Saudi Arabia.

In a further development, the desperate Asian Tribune editor had phoned Tamil Makkal Viduthalai Puligal (TMVP) second in command Pillaiyan with the view to buy him over following damning revelations in the Sunday Leader. Pilliyan had apprently told KTR that his murderous intent is clear in the media and not to waste his time to contact him anymore.
