A group of loyalists of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, to make an awareness of his future political path is to launch a new week end newspaper from the coming week.
The name of this weekend newspaper is 'Mulpituwa' and the editor of this newspaper is the former General Manager of the Independent Television Network Sudarman Radeliyagoda.It is also reported that the deputy editor of this proposed week end newspaper would be Gamini Jayalath who was the editor of Dinamina during the era of the former President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
The initial financial sponsorship would be by an associate of former Minister Johnston Fernando while the sponsorship for printing would be by a businessman associate of former Minister Wimal Weeraansa.
However it is reported that the name "Mulpituwa' has surfaced a legal conflict. The reason is that all rights of the name 'Mulpituwa' belongs to the former chairman of Lake House Bandula Padmakumara who produced 'Mulpituwa' programme at the television channel 'Swarnavahini' where all headlines of newspapers were telecast.
