Rajapaksa
henchmen Rajpal Abeynayake – Editor of Daily News and Dinesh Weerawansa –
Editor of Sunday Observer have vansihed into thin air since the defeat of
Mahinda Rajapaksa yesterday, Colombo Telegraph reliably learns.
The two
Editors who were staunch supporters of Mahinda Rajapaksa had not reported to
work today and have been uncontactable since yesterday. In his editorial on
Friday (9) Rajpal had written that the Opposition victory is ‘a figment of the
imagination of various interested parties’. Rajpal’s Twitter account has also
been inactive since January 8.
Similar
situations have emerged in other state media including the Sri Lanka Broadcasting
Corporation and the ITN where most of the top ranking officials have left their
positions.
Chairman
of SLBC Hudson Samarasinghe and Deputy General Manager of ITN Sudharman
Radaliyagoda, who has two oustansing warrants in his name have also reportedly
fled the country.
