By Asela Premachandra<\/a><\/span> and Sisters of Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra<\/a><\/span> –<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the time of deceit – telling the truth is a revolutionary act\u201d –\u00a0<\/strong>George Orwell<\/strong><\/p>\n

Latest news about deceitful health conditions of Duminda Silva<\/a><\/span> is; He has been re-admitted to the Navaloka hospital due to his so-called negative health condition, just 24 hours after the news report that Hirunika<\/a><\/span> is planning to go to courts to get Duminda\u2019s bail revoked on the grounds that courts were misled at Duminda\u2019s bail hearing with regard to his health condition.\u00a0 So it is another day, another move by Duminada Silva, another blatant insult to the common sense of every Srilankan living in and out of Sri Lanka and another new low for entire judicial system in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>According to so-called well researched statement issued\u00a0\u00a0 by Duminda Silva\u2019s family what transpired on the 28th<\/sup> of April 2013 was a spontaneous reaction by his supporters with sheer exuberance to the news Duminda Silva has been discharged from the Navaloka hospital that day. They probably completely forgot to include following facts.<\/p>\n

1. 24 hours after Duminda Silva is given bail due to his so-called poor health condition, it was reported that Duminda is suddenly well enough to leave the hospital and will be discharged on the 28 th of April.<\/p>\n

2. Duminda\u2019s brother\u2019s media conglomerate repeatedly made announcement about his release from the hospital.<\/p>\n

3. Thousands of SMS were sent asking people to come and greet Duminda.<\/p>\n

4. People were given free transportation, food and beverages provided with Duminda\u2019 pictures, banners and fire crackers.<\/p>\n

5. There was absolutely no effort made to minimize public contact with Duminda. Contrary to that he was freely and enthusiastically moving with his supporters and giving media interviews about where he is going to stop first and starting his political activities in Kolonnawa.<\/p>\n

6. After getting blessed by the President, defense secretary then he met senior police Officers and others in his residence all day long including giving more media interviews.<\/p>\n

In their so-called well researched article went on saying that having seen the media clips (Duminada\u2019s departure from the Navaloka hospital ) the doctors of\u00a0 Mount Elizabeth hospital\u00a0 warned the family their\u00a0 concerns regarding his exposure to germs because of his delecate health.\u00a0 Yet, Duminda had no problem touring\u00a0 Kolonnawa\u00a0 electorate over the same weekend greeting his supporters amidst the large amount of burning fire crackers and pyrotechnic displays and\u00a0 inhaling burning sulfur and other harmful chemicals\u00a0 exposing himself\u00a0 to an\u00a0 unhealthy environment . In that Statement,\u00a0\u00a0 many things were mentioned but they completely failed to\u00a0 establish any evidence to collaborate Duminda \u2018s behavior after his release from the Navoloka\u00a0 hospital.\u00a0\u00a0 The legal argument they brought forward to get bail for Duminda was on the grounds of so-called his sensitive and poor health conditions which requires his undivided\u00a0 family attention .<\/p>\n

Since Duminda\u2019s\u00a0 heart is\u00a0 set to serve \u201cHave nots\u201d (according to his family) it would be a great start for him to resume his politics by asking the President<\/a><\/span> to conduct an independent public inquiry with judicial powers to prosecute members of the \u201cstock market mafia\u201d one of whom looted nearly quarter billion rupees from fraudulent NSB deal and amassed hundreds of millions of rupees through \u201cpump and dump\u201d stock deals at the expense of EPF and ETF which belongs to poor innocent people in\u00a0 Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

It is a great insult to our intelligent people \u00a0of Sri Lanka to witness this ever unfolding drama of getting a quadruple murderer off the hook .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
