Sri Lanka: Dr Jayadevan perturbed by Rajasingham's silence

Monday, 26 November 2007

LONDON (SNM) -- Asian Tribune editor/owner KT Rajasingham's silence on the face of serious allegations put forward by the Sunday Leader newspaper is essentially admittance of guilt by the 76 year old web editor, Dr Jayadevan says. "Instead, vulgar and threatening campaign beyond journalistic ethics has been carried out by K T Rajasingam to side tract and to mislead the issues. When his dilly dally dancing with the President was exposed, he went out of the way to sling mud on the media writers," according to Dr Jayadevan. He went on to say: "When will Asian Tribune editor break his silence on the issues exposed?

"It is becoming clear there is substantial amount of guilt on the part of both the President and K T Rajasingam confirmed by their conduct post exposure. Can we assume strong silence by both tantamount to admission of guilt?

"By avoiding to give direct and honest answer or opinion, or a clear and truthful account of a situation, especially by quibbling or being deliberately ambiguous or misleading is serious in itself for the parties to be called 'guilty' in this case."
