(Lanka-e-News -17.Jan.2016, 11.45PM) Following the news report of Lanka e news dated 15 th ,the deputy minister of mass media Karunaratne Paranavitharne speaking to Lanka e news over the phone said that he had nothing to do with the ‘gonpart song’ (buffalo style song) and its composion which took the president on a buffalo ride and made him an illusory King.
Lanka e news in its report dated 2016-01-15 under the caption ‘Song that puts Maithri on illusory pedestal of King is a ‘Buffalo style song’ -Prof. Sarath Wijesuriya (Video)’ revealed that the gonpart song was composed with the consent of the president, based on a disclosure made by a composer.
In the article it was stated “A most strange spectacle was witnessed when this revelation was being made by the professor : such a bootlicking ghost and servile scoundrel by the name of Karunaratne Paranavitharne, the deputy minister whom the description fitted best was sitting in the front row , and listening to the professor most intently , and shamelessly.”
The depuy minister referring to this paragraph said , he had nothing to do with the song composition, and that was done by the presidential secretariat, while adding that it was an individual by the name of Arosh of the presidential secretariat who brought that song recording to the Rupavahini and ITN television channels to relay it after the song was composed and completed.
The chairman of National Rupavahini channel was reluctant to publish it , and it is he who intervened to preclude it from being published via the State media , the deputy minister of mass media pointed out.
Based on the statement made by the deputy minister , the communique issued by the president’s secretary is false. The secretary to the president in his communique stated the presidential secretariat had nothing to do with the composition of that gonpart song.
When Lanka e news pointed out to Paranavithane that though he was not associated with the song , he was still involved fully in the making of the souvenir marking the investiture anniversary celebrations with a bloke like Vasanthapriya Ramanayake who even was ready to sacrifice his life to make Rajapakse victorious , and whether Paranavirharne’s actions jointly with him are not reprehensible and repugnant ? Paranavitharne replied , he was associated with it in his official capacity , and by that time Ramanayake had already been chosen for that.
The deputy minister exposed that it was Shiral Lakthileke who shouldered the entire organization activities, and there were a number of shortcomings , the deputy minister admitted.( However , the claim that he was officially appointed is unacceptable, for official appointments are not made to organizing committees of celebrations. Official appointments are made to constitutional councils. An organizing committee of a commemoration is not a constitutional committee. )
The deputy minister Paranavitharne went on to further assert , no matter what , he does not endorse the recent appointments of the pro Rajapakse blokes Gamini Sumanasekera , Vasanthapriya Ramanayake , A.B. Lalith De Silva and Chamudhitha Samarawickrema ,made by the president.
Paranavitharne went on to make it abundantly clear that the people did not vest the president with presidential power on the 8 thof January 2015 , not for him to re build the SLFP but to re build the country.
Answering our query whether the deputy minister is speaking as an SLFP er or a UNP er , he replied , he is now a UNP er because it was the UNP ers of Ratnapura who voted for him to be elected as an M.P

Of course, you are correct. You became a MP through the votes from UNP. Also the President should be a UNP because he was elected as a president through UNP votes.Not only that, he was survived from stone pelting at Pelmadulla rally during Presidential campaign and was protected by UNP supporters.Who are the attackers?They were none other than SLFP.President should think about the reality
