Astrologer P.D. Perera gets astrology advice from Tiran!

 On Monday, 21 July 2014 

‘Mawbima’ owner Tiran Alles has reportedly given advice on astrology to senior astrologer P.D. Perera of Nattandiya recently.

Giving a call to the astrologer, Tiran has told him that he could once again be given an opportunity to write articles on astrology for ‘Mawbima’, and also his programmes can be broadcast over popular television and radio channels, on condition that he should write an article that defence secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa was certain to become the prime minister.

P.D. Perera has responded, “Mister, I cannot make false predictions for money. I will not betray my profession for money. I wrote to Lankadeepa that Mr. Fonseka would go to jail, but that was not for money. I foresaw that. At that time, people came and threatened me at gunpoint. But, I did not withdraw my prediction. In the end, those who threatened me too, went to jail. Therefore, I cannot write falsehoods. I cannot see such a future for Mr. Gotabhaya at the moment.”

An embarrassed Tiran’s reply was “99 per cent of the predictions in newspapers are false. Not that we publish them without knowing that”, and disconnected the line.
