Journalist Manjula Wediwardane, who is living in France has denied UPFA MP Arundhika Fernando's claims that he had introduced disappeared journalist Prageeth Eknaligoda to the politician in France.

"It is a lie, and i have never met Arundhika Fernando in France," Wediwardane told BBC Sinhala service. He however said that he saw Arundhika in 2007 in Colombo and after that he never saw him.

Wediwardana also told BBC that Arundhika had given a telephone call to him when the latter was in France end of last year. Wediwardana said that although he studied with Arundhika in the same school, he never had any friendship with Arundhika.

Usually, as a policy, we do not take anything a politician says about our knee. (danissen ihalata ganne nehe) So this is also a fabricated story by a politician. Same policy applies.

One man told an identical lie in an international forum and when confronted blamed "God" for it. Wonder what this liar would come up with for an excuse - blame the Devil. This particular MP has no shame at all and lost all his credibility after he played a major role in the impeachment of ex Chief Justice, Shirani B. It is rather unfortunate that this country is now (mis)ruled by a known set of liars and cheaters.

Dead or missing Ekneligoda is more valuable to some people.

No, men, this must be a lie fabricated elsewhere and then put in Arundika's mouth. He was only the mouth piece.

Neutral man has proved that he is not only not neutral but an idiot all those journalists who ran away from the country did so because they were hunted down. If Praneeth is alive the government would have hunted him down even in France or anywhere else in the world. When people like you support the murderers, they can go without any fear.////Luxshman

Irrespective of one's religion, one thing is for sure; the hell will be over filled when the current politicians reach the end of their lives.

Politicians are the Biggest Liars in the World. Parliament should be re-named as Liars Club.

Why should two lie, another Pinhead. Sri Lanka seems to have an abundance of Pinheads.

Oops, that proves my late mother's advise. Never lie and you need more lies to coverup the first lie and finally you get caught. This is exactly what is happening to this guy, Arundika.
