The media has been pressurised not to publish news about stranded Middle East workers.
“No advertisements if this news is telecast. A firm threat to Swarnavahini’s journalist Kapila, by Minister Dilan. The recording of the telephone conversation is in my possession”
M.P Ranjan disclosers to Speaker in Parliament
Last week the grievances of many Middle East workers who had gone in search of greener pastures were elaborated expensively in Parliament by Member of Parliament Ranjan Ramanayake. He told the Hon. Speaker in order to suppress these grievances in the television media Minister Dilan Perera had made stern threats made to many private channels, saying that all advertisements would be stopped if these grievances were highlighted. He told the House that minister had taken bribes amounting to huge sums of money from bogus agency owners in this regard. When Member of Parliament Ranjan Ramanayake said he has proof to his disclosure as he possesses recordings of a telephone conversations Minister Dilan Perera had had with Swarnavahini’s journalist Kapila. This provoked Minister Dilan Perera which ended in a heated argument between the two inside the House.
The argument went on in this manner..........
Member of Parliament Ranjan Ramanayake:
“Today what have you done to the media. The foreign employment bureau exists ......All allocations have been stopped. But money and Laptops have been given. The private Television had been threatened by asking not to publish about Middle East migrant workers are exposed. If it is done all your advertisements would be deprived.”
Minister Dilan Perera in retaliation........
“According to him I have bribed by giving money. I have stopped them from telecasting news. He is famous for slinging mud is a characteristic feature of this person. Do not unearth these wrong stories which are all untrue. Tell me who told these stories to you that I have bribed private television channels.”
Member of Parliament Ranjan Ramanayaka.........
“The Swarnavahini television channel had been threatened by the manner I said earlier.he had told not telecast my stories about the sufferings of the innocent Middle east migrant workers at the ‘Live@ 8’ news bulletin, HON. Speaker. There is a journalist by name kapila whom Minister Dilan Perera had spoken over the phone on this matter and had threatened not to telecast over my versions to the media. The recorded telephone conversation is in my possession.
In addition he bribes the newspapers also not to publish these stories about the suffering migrant Middle East workers by giving bribes. Details are not permitted and allowed to go out from the Foreign Employment Bureau. The bogus foreign employment agencies pay huge sums to the Minister for suppressing these news of stranded workers in Jordan, Lebanon, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Qatar and Saudi Arabia where I had visited. They have not been granted justice despite my pleas.”
