Recently I received a mail from a freind of mine exposing the corrupt practices of www.dailymirror.lk web site.



Some imposter is using my friends name to post most insulting comments on the Government of Sri Lanka in the www.dailymirror.lk web site. When my freind got to know that, he immeadiately contacted the edirotial board via e mail (addresses supplied in the contact us page of the web site) and infromed of the situation. Unfrtunately no one replied or even acknoweedged the mail.



Then my friend tried to post a correction in the same readers comment page. Whenever he posted his side of the story, none of them were published. This he tried more than twenty times, without any sucess.



Thirdly my friend phoned the Wijaya newspapers, the publishers of the daily mirror. One Mr Sandun Jayasekara of the editorial board answered the phone, promised to rectify the error. Yet there were no action.



Meanwhile the imposter is busy posting abusive and offensive remarks against the Government of Sri Lanka under my friends name!!!



This newspaper dailymirror is published by the Wijaya group, owned by the maternal uncle of Hon Ranil Wickramasinghe, the leader of the opposition of Sri Lanka. Perhaps the uncle is trying his best to promote his underperforming naphew by posting abusive remarks under names of the non-suspecting members of the public?



Or is it the webmaster of www.dailymirror.lk is doing the dirty trick for the Mr Wickramasinghe?

This story is true & the victim is a friend of mine. He has already lodged a formal complaint with the Press Complaint Commission of Sri Lanka  With my friend's  permission I publish the following :-

Dear Sir,

I am a Sri Lankan Scientist working at the Murdoch Childrens Research
Institute, Royal Childrens Hospital, Melbourne, Australia.

Recently I discovered that some imposter is using my name (full name with
title) to post absurd and damaging responses to the news items published in
the Daily mirror web site (www.dailymirror.lk)

Some of my friends altered me to this situation and since then I have
contacted the Editor of the dailymirror to correct the mishap and error.
They do not correct that or never answer my e mails.

Once I called the Daily mirror and one Mr Sandun Jayasekara took the call,
promised me to delete the harmful posts and hung up. Nothing happend.

Therefore I have desided to lodge a formal complain against the dilymirror
on this regard. Please direct them NOT to post any responses bearing my name
hereafter and publish a public apology for the harm they did to my
reputation.

Taking you,

Yours truly,

Dr T.K.P.K.Kaluarachchi PhD

Dear Mr Rockwood,   Thank you very much for the prompt reply.   The Imposter has written some damaging stuff even on todays Daily mirror !!!   Please go to   http://www.dailymirror.lk/DM_BLOG/Sections/frmNewsDetailView.aspx?ARTID=66700

Specific comment is :   [At last we found a real friend in the Pacific. Now the GOSL can add another junta regiment in addition to Iran/Pakistan/Palestine/Libya/communist China and Fiji as TRUE friends. The democratic West is against GOSL with bad human rights record and extra judicial killings and police brutality etc.. Dr. TKPK Kaluarachchi

 Posted By: Dr. TKPK Kaluarachchi]   I have never made such comments and reported over and over again to the DailyMirror to stop that, without any success.   Sometimes I wonder if a staff member of the DailyMirror itself is doing this hyeinous act!   I hope you would do me the justice and instruct DailyMirror to stop publishing stupid remarks in my name.       Kind regards
