A minister... poplar actress and an abortion



A minister who had an affair with a poplar actress is saddened after the actress decided to go for an abortion, according to SLM.



The minister said that the actress is the apple of his eye and is the woman he loves most in the world.
Despite such a love, it is saddening that she had decided to abort his child, he said.

Nevertheless, her decision has not dented their relationship; he is just having the feelings of a father who had lost his child, the minister clarified.

The abortion has taken place at a hospital in Colombo yesterday (25) after citing heavy bleeding as the cause.

Speaking further, the minister said that he has always been open about his relationship with her, even when he was questioned by a bigwig of the government.
However, he was careful not to put the government in an awkward position due to this relationship, he added.

The relationship was no news to the actress’s husband either.

Last Sunday, the Minister – who has a soft spot for kids, has apparently met with the husband and pleaded not to go ahead with the abortion, saying that he will take complete responsibility of the child’s upbringing.

Hirunika writes to the President




Hirunika Premachandra, the daughter of Late Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra says that the power of the people's mandate should be used in a just manner for the benefit of the public.

She had expressed these sentiments in a letter addressed to President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

Hirunika Premachandra has commenced her letter to the President quoting a note from her diary on October 8, 2011.

She has marked that particular day as "The Day I Lost My Soul".

Hirunika Premachandra in her letter to the President stated that during the past seven months, as a daughter who lost her father, she has faced sorrow, pain, threats, and insults.

The letter also says that she continues to go through such bitter experiences and that it was the most painful experience in her entire life.

In her letter, Hirunika Premachandra stated that what the President and other responsible authorities in the country are utilising is the public mandate.

The letter sent by Hirunika Premachandra goes on to express the following.

''When I saw my father lying in a pool of blood I couldn't control myself. I wanted to break out and cry. I wanted to shout in pain, but I couldn''t.

Not only the people of Kolonnawa but people in the entire country are well aware of my father's political journey since the 80s. My father was the first leader who was brave enough to gather people and hoist blue flags in Kolonnawa in 1979 when the UNP was in power and SLFP supporters were hesitant to leave their residence.

Throughout the past seven months, each and every day, I have been begging to bring the chief suspect to justice.

Now this case has transformed in to one between the Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra faction and the faction comprising Duminda Silva and other responsible figures of the country..''

Hirunika Premachandra had concluded her letter to the President as follows.

''This letter was not forwarded due to any influence. And I have noted down everything that is on my mind. Mr. President, now it is your turn. You should decide if you would read this and discard it? Or will you be enraged by it? Or if you would do justice by thinking about this matter over and over
again? Because if justice is done to Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra, it would be a sign
that justice can be done, on incidents of murder that take place in the country..''

Case against Hirunika ?



President’s lawyer Hemantha Warnakulasuriya has informed the judiciary that a legal case will be filed against Hirunika Premachandra for dashing coconuts in front of the Hulftsdorp court complex.
 
The daughter of late politician Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra had dashed coconuts seeking gods intervention to punish the murderers of her father.

The court was informed of after Colombo Additional Magistrate Prasanna Alwis took up the case pertaining to the killings.

Objecting, Hirunika’s lawyer Tirantha Waraliyadde said that he would alert the international community if a case was filed against his client.

In response, the Magistrate informed that the judiciary was not intimated by anyone’s threats.
Tirantha Waraliyadde again requested the court to issue a warrant to arrest Duminda Silva but the Magistrate said that the court had already ordered to take the necessary measures pertaining to the matter.

He added there was nothing the judiciary could do if the orders were not being implemented.

Sixteen suspects in the shooting incident, which claimed the lives of presidential advisor Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra and three others, were brought to the court today (22), and were further remanded until June 05.

Two others are out on bail, while MP Silva and Galaboda are yet to be arrested.

Sarath Fonseka released



Former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka was released from the Welikada prison a short while ago after being granted a Presidential pardon.

The Supreme Court today (May 21) allowed the withdrawal of two pending appeals by Sarath Fonseka’s counsel. Court has granted approval for the withdrawal of the appeal on the ‘white flag’ case and the special appeal challenging the verdict of the second Court Martial.

Fonseka, who was discharged from hospital today morning, was presented before the Supreme Court a short while ago.

The attorneys appearing on behalf of the former army chief had stated that the President has pardoned the petitioner, according to provisions of the constitution and that therefore he does not wish to continue with the petitions.

Former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka, who led the Sri Lankan army to victory against the LTTE, was in detention since February 2010 following his unsuccessful bid at the Presidential election earlier that year in which Mahinda Rajapaksa was elected to his second term.

In September 2010, a court martial sentenced him to 30 months imprisonment for corruption related to irregularities in military procurements during his time as army chief. He also lost the parliamentary seat he won in the April 2010 polls.

An earlier court martial also found him guilty of interfering in politics while in uniform and stripped him of his rank and pension.

Fonseka was arrested and convicted by both military and civil courts and stripped off all military ranks as of August 2010 while the US State Department named him a political prisoner in its 2010 Human Rights report.

Sarath Fonseka was then found guilty by a divided decision in the case regarding the ‘White Flag’ statement and sentenced to three years in prison by the Colombo High Court on November 18, 2011.

The verdict was divided 2:1 and was given by the High Court bench headed by Judge Deepali Wijesundara and comprising Judges DMPD Waraweva and Zulfiqar Razin.

However, Fonseka maintained that that the published comments had misquoted him adding that the journalist Fredrica Janz had distorted a reply that he had given to a question that she had put forward in her own words in order to build this story.

Sarath Fonseka, who was at the time serving his 30-month jail term was sentenced to three years in prison and fined Rs.5,000.

Fonseka appealed the decision while the petition is to be taken up at the Supreme Court.

Sarath Fonseka along with his son-in-law Danuna Tilakaratne and Director of HiCorp Pvt. Ltd. Wellington De Hoedt were also accused of defrauding the Army by purchasing military hardware going beyond the tender procedure.

Sarath Fonseka was acquitted by the Colombo High Court of the charges brought against him in the Hicorp fraud case citing that he could not be sentenced twice for the same offence as the Court Martial had already found him guilty of the charges.

Fonseka continued to serve his three-year sentence amidst mass protests and pressure on the government by the opposition parties and international powers to facilitate the former army commander’s release.

Sarath Fonseka was granted conditional bail on May 18 by the Colombo High Court in the case of harbouring army deserters during the Presidential election.

The State Attorney informed court that the government does not object to the bail appeal by the former Army Commander, who was then ordered released under a cash bail of Rs. 1 million and two personal bails of Rs. 2.5 million each.

The Colombo High Court also barred Sarath Fonseka from leaving the country however stating that he would be required to seek permission from the court in order to do so.


The President had made it known to the media and those close to Fonseka that the country was at a juncture in which it would be in its interest to release Fonseka while following separate meetings with Anoma Fonseka and Tiran Alles, it was announced that Fonseka would be released.

The President signed the necessary papers for Sarath Fonseka’s release on May 18 and handed them over to the chief of Presidential staff before leaving for Qatar that evening.

The Supreme Court allowed the withdrawal of two pending appeals by Sarath Fonseka’s counsel. The Court granted approval for the withdrawal of the appeal on the ‘white flag’ case and the special appeal challenging the verdict of the second Court Martial.

Fonseka, who was taken back to the Welikada Prison was released shortly thereafter.
