While claiming that a certain newspaper will not sell without news about  him the Deputy Minister later urged the media to scold him if they must  but at the same time report only the truth. “When you look at some of these people who write about me and scold me I personally know their background is not good,” he said. Mervyn Silva was just yesterday reappointed to his post in the  government after he was cleared by an SLFP disciplinary committee from  charges against him involving an incident where he had tied a Sumurdhi  official to a tree in Kaleniya.<a href="http://www.dailymirror.lk/index.php/news/6459-merv-warns-media.html" target="_blank">Dailymirror</a></blockquote>
