The \u2018Truth with Chamuditha\u2019 program revealed that Thilini\u2019s father is former JVP leader Somawansa Amarasinghe. They exposed this with evidence.<\/p>\n<p>With that revelation, Keerthi Ratnayake has received death threats from unidentified group. Moreover, he continues to receive harassing phone calls.<\/p>\n<p>So far, the Truth with Chamuditha\u201d YouTube channel and Facebook page have received thousands of reader responses. When analyzing them carefully, an operation targeting Chamuditha Samarawickrama and Keerthi Ratnayake can be identified.<\/p>\n<p>It can be seen that the operation was launched by the JVP cadres and they emphasize several points in their campaign.<\/p>\n<p>1. Saying that Chamuditha and Keerthi\u2019s ambition is nothing but mudslinging on JVP<\/p>\n<p>2. Saying that JVP is gaining huge popularity and Chamudita and Keerthi are performing a political mud contract.<\/p>\n<p>3. To convey the message that since JVP is ready to take power in the country, journalist should refrain from criticizing them.<\/p>\n<p>4. Pointing out all criticisms against JVP as conspiracies of opponents<\/p>\n<p>JVP has been relentlessly criticizing every party in the country since the day it entered the political stream. According to JVP, everyone except them are thieves, cheats, and criminals. JVP used 3 main strategies for its politics.<\/p>\n<p>1. So-called Patriotism<br \/>\n2. Creating imperialist bogeymen<br \/>\n3. Terror application<\/p>\n<p>In 2005, the Rajapaksas stole the above strategies from the JVP. Then the Rajapaksa\u2019s won the elections using that strategy. JVP practice and Rajapakse practice are like two sides of the same coin.<\/p>\n<p>Journalists like Keerthi and Chamuditha were severely retaliated during the Rajapaksa regime. They were often called to the CID. Sometimes even had to go to jail.<\/p>\n<p>It is a matter of regret that taking revenge from the journalists in an organized manner just after making one criticism about the JVP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Courtesy National Alert The program \u2018Truth with Chamuditha\u2019 made the most revelations about the investment company run by Thilini Priyamali in the World Trade Complex.
