Following his recent rant of calling Minister Rishard
Bathuideen a ‘pig’ for pledging support to the common opposition candidate,
Maithreepala Sirisena, State Media’ Rajpal Abeynayake has now apologized to
pigs for the comment.
In his latest tweet Abeynayake says “Come to think of it I
shouldn’t hav called Badiudeen a pig fr crossing over with da MP given his post
da other day.My apologies to all pigs.”
Abeynayake is a trusted confidant of President Mahinda
Rajapaksa and has been handpicked to by him to be the editor of the State
Media’s flagship newspaper the Daily News. It is widely believed that
Abeynayake expresses the sentiments of the President, especially in his
anti-minority and anti-Indian editorials. Immediately after the Aluthgama
attacks against Muslims which left at least three civilians dead, Abeynayake
justified the attack by extremists Sinhala mobs, who he claimed were provoked
by the minority community.
