Bandula On The Rampage Against Tamil Journos

Sri Lanka’s Consul General to Sydney and former Presidential Media Director Bandula Jayasekera on Saturday launched a Twitter invective against a Tamil journalist, threatening to call up his publisher and expose his LTTE links.
Bandula Jayasekara
The indefatigable Jayasekera who revels in Twitter wars against all journalists and users holding dissenting views regularly calls rights activists and foreign journalists disparaging names, often linking them to the “LTTE Rump” and accusing them of being paid large sums of dollars to discredit the Sri Lankan state.
His latest Twitter tirade was launched against a journalist from Veerakesari, a widely read Tamil newspaper. Jayasekera accused the journalist of having a hidden agenda against Sri Lanka. Referring to the newspaper’s publisher, Jayasekera told the journalist on Twitter: “I will ask Kumar Nadesan about you if you are a member of LTTE terrorists and what your links are.”
Later Jayasekera threatened: “Your agenda and campaign is very clear and it is no secret. I will check with Mr Nadesan from now on. That is it. I will expose what you are up to.” Read More
