Chairman of the Rupavahini corporation Ravi Jayawardena has resigned from his post after handing over his letter of resignation to Minister of Mass Media, Mangala Samaraweera.
According to sources he cited personal reasons for the resignation while claiming he felt it was time to resign after holding the post for three years.
He added that he was able to transform the channel into a profit-making institution and gain popularity among the people once again and therefore is happily resigning from his post at Rupavahini.
According to political sources, Jayawardene now intends to intensify the activism of the National Movement for a Just Society created by the late Maduluwawe Sobitha Thera in which Jayawardene was actively involved in.
He had mentioned to his close associates that time is now in the way to achieve the intended aims of the organization and therefore he will work to win these demands to ensure democracy in the next 18 months as if it is not done, it would be unfair on the part of the late Sobitha Thera as well as the People's mandate of January 8, 2015.
