Mr. Sarath Fonseka has challenged me to produce Malak Silva who is supposed to be hiding to the Police, but before issuing such challenges, Mr Fonseka should produce his own son in law, who is being hidden by him, said Minister Mr. Mervin Silva.
He was speaking at a press briefing
today (14) where he reiterated that his son was not in hiding and the
police if necessary could come anytime and take him into custody, he
said.
The Minister also said his son was not a murderer, drug peddler, bribe taker or another’s woman snatcher to go into hiding.
The incident of an alleged assault by Malaka Silva on an army Major, is not a big issue as made out by some media.
The Minister further said the incident
was one where there was a clash between friends in civvies. If his son
or any other person had assaulted any army personnel dressed in uniform,
it would have prompted him to immediately take the side of the army.
The Minister said he was unable to
disclose the real issue behind the incident since it would possibly
bring the army into disrepute. The assault was not an assault on the
army.
However, the army major who was subject
to an assault by Malaka Silva at a night club car park in Colombo
recently, is yet under medical treatment in the army hospital and has
even been operated on, it is reported.
