Lake House Chairman Bandula Padmakumara had allegedly refused the publication of a special supplement on Gamini Fonseka and the newspapers published by the institution had not given much coverage to the event held to unveil a statue of the late film legend at Elphinstone by President Mahinda Rajapakse.
Damith Fonseka had requested Lake House Chairman Bandula Padmakumara to publish a special supplement on Gamini Fonseka to mark his death anniversary in either the Dinamina or Sarasaviya newspapers.
Padmakumara has however said that such a supplement could be printed if a sum of Rs. 150,000 was paid to the institution. |

A senior journalist at Lake House said that although Padmakumara had refused to publish a supplement for Gamini Fonseka, he had permitted the publication of an 8 page supplement for Susanthika Jayasinghe. The journalist also said that Padmakumara who entered the media world through artists, now seems to have forgotten his past. |
