Silumina commemorates Dayasena using Dayananda's photo!

Silumina commemorates Dayasena using Dayananda's photo! Featured

The state owned 'Silumina' newspaper recently commemorated senior journalist - Dayasena Gunasinghe, but with disastrous results.

Gunasinghe, who was a prominent figure of the 'Silumina' publication, was commemorated in the 'Sathmandala' supplement of the Silumina publication of May 29.

However, a photograph of renowned late playwright Dayananda Gunawardena in his youth was used erroneously used by the publication.

It is peculiar that this error had occurred despite the presence of Gunasinghe's contemporaries functioning as advisors of the Lake House.

The article containing the error and a pic of the Wikipedia article on Dayananda Gunawardena is as follows :
