I want him to come back because this case is dragging on so much since he is not here. I really hope things will change if he comes back. I want him to be back and on his feet.\u2019<br \/>\nHirunika pointed out that out of the 20 suspects, \u201conly 16 are inside while four are out including the main figure.\u201d She said she didn\u2019t know where they were, \u201cprobably abroad or dead.\u201d<br \/>\nSilva\u2019s lawyer, Hemantha Warnakulasuriya, PC, has filed a contempt of court case against Hirunika for making statements he alleges could be harmful to the integrity of the court. But she said it is a \u201csilly way of trying to scare me and to draw my focus away.\u201d \u201cFrom the beginning, I asked for justice; I never said anything against the magistrate or the court.\u201d<br \/>\nHirunika dismissed speculation that she is joining the government saying that she is still a member of the Mahajana Party. She also said she did not know when she would join active politics because her focus now is to secure justice for her father and the others who died with him in October 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Lakbima News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":48360,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,1,2375],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colombotelegraph","category-news","category-stories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
