The story of visiting Jaffna with media personnel is fake - Minister Gayantha
The media personnel are a group who do not have a unity.There are conflicts between media reporters and between media institutions.That is the situation was said by the Minister of parliamentary affairs
and mass communication Gayantha Karunatilleke.Addressing at a meeting of cabinet decisions held at the department of government information the Minister had said that it was reported that he had traveled to Jaffna by train with some media personnel and at a certain point there had been a small issue.This issue had been reported as a massive incident.
The reports had revealed that all the media personnel had left but only three had left early as they had taken permission to do leave early was made to understand.
The Minister had said on a journey like that it is obvious that there would be little problems about food .To make the those problems arrangements had been made to reduce such problems to a minimum.But from Colombo itself a group had joined that wanted to make this event a bit of a mess.
The deputy Minister Karunaratne Paranavithana had added that it had been reported in the media that at Vavuniya there had been a verbal dispute between the Media Minister and the the Media personnel.He had refuted that charge and had challenged any one to prove such an incident via video clips or photographs.
