Hirunika Premachandra the daughter of late Baratha Lakshman Premachandra said yesterday, that she has not changed despite the obstacles she has faced during the year after the death of her father.

“It’s been close to a year since my father was murdered and Hirunika that spoke to you a year ago is still unchanged.It is the same Hirunika that speaks before you today. I will continue to fight until my father is given justice,” she told media.

Speaking to reporters outside the Magistrate's Courts Complex after the hearing of the case, Hirunikasaid she would continue to stay strong despite the obstacles she would have to face. “I thank everyone who has been with us and all those who tried to push me down. It is because of those who tried to push me down that I have continued to fight and stay strong until my father is given justice”.

Premachandra also questioned the basis under which MP Duminda Silva has been granted leave.

“How can a man who is not mentally stable continue to get leave from parliament? During the last hearing the lawyers of the accused, after showing X-ray, stated that the damage to the brain was serious and he couldn't be cured. However, on the other hand he was continuously being granted leave and I don’t understand how that can happen. The way things are going he might be granted leave from Parliament for the next ten years,” she said. (ISA)

    The facts are, her father was gunned down in daylight with many eye-witnesses , Why is no one charged for the murder? That is the question is what is the problem with the Police inquiry?

    Mohammed Hiraz Tuesday, 02 October 2012 01:19 PM

    But time Still not yet same???

    dass Tuesday, 02 October 2012 01:28 PM

    never changes like lamp-flame before a wind.

    Citizen Perera Tuesday, 02 October 2012 01:36 PM

    She is a supporter of this government and Duminda also in the same government..So what's the problem?

    Chams Tuesday, 02 October 2012 01:44 PM

    Why didn't you ask these questions on the UPFA stage you took a couple of weeks ago? I am sure the ministers would have answered them right away!

    Real peace Tuesday, 02 October 2012 01:54 PM

    Yes, you are still the same - very pretty!

    Lal Tuesday, 02 October 2012 01:52 PM

    You will be judged by your actions not based upon what you say about yourself! Can you please let us know as to what your policies and political aspirations are?

    dicky bird. Tuesday, 02 October 2012 01:56 PM

    The X'ray showed that he did not have a brain .......
    The court was not surprised at that sight.

    Upul Tuesday, 02 October 2012 02:03 PM

    Well Hirunika, the best time you could have questioned "the basis under which MP Duminda Silva has been granted leave" was when you were on UPFA stage in Hingurakgoda.

    BadaraUSA Tuesday, 02 October 2012 01:02 PM

    No body will trust this lady. Typical cheater suitable for corrupted government minister.

    Hal Tuesday, 02 October 2012 02:38 PM

    Bagalawathie Wednesday, 03 October 2012 03:08 AM

    Good luck Hirunika. Love ya. You are so beautiful and look like Julia Roberts.

    Nihal Amarasekera Wednesday, 03 October 2012 03:15 AM

    She has been short-changed by the government for political expediency. Time to compensate and to succumb.

    summer thorn Wednesday, 03 October 2012 09:05 AM

    Chandrika Madam did the same thing some time ago. Later on she changed the tune to say, Wijaya was killed by UNP and not JVP.Let your murdered father rest in peace. You have let down the people already. You allowed the snow balling public sympathy about you to vanish just by apearing in one foolish election meeting. In vain for peoples hopes.

    Asaranakolla Wednesday, 03 October 2012 11:10 AM

    @ Achari, yes you are correct, she is a bit nut & crack, may be because of age

    ANTON Tuesday, 02 October 2012 10:16 AM

    Duminda will definitely ask who is Hirunika Premachandra ?

    Deepal Tuesday, 02 October 2012 12:23 PM

    She has A D S .(attention defeciancy syndrome)

    Calistus Jayatilleke Tuesday, 02 October 2012 12:00 PM

    We can believe she has not changed if she had the guts to ask the UPFA bigwigs this very same question about Duminda Silvae when she got on to their stage during the PC elections and sang their praises affirming that she will always remain a leftist. One fine day one will be able to see her singing a duet with Duminda on a political stage and even sitting with him in the parliament on the same side. Miracles never cease to occur!

    singing fish Tuesday, 02 October 2012 11:56 AM

    Really? nobody believe you.

    samara Tuesday, 02 October 2012 11:54 AM

    still she is not mature enough to realsie political cunningness of the people who she think are friends of her.

    sizzler Tuesday, 02 October 2012 11:51 AM

    Yes you have

    M. GONE Tuesday, 02 October 2012 11:43 AM

    WELL HOW AND WHY DID YOU APPEAR ON THE PLATFORM OF THE M== RAJAPAKSE REGIME DURING THE RECENTLY CONCLUDED ELECTION...... IS IT NOT THESE SAME PEOPLE WHO HAD YOUR FATHER MURDERED AND YOU APPEAR IN SUPPORT O
    WHOM ARE YOU TRYING TO HOOD WINK AND TRICK........
    WE ARE NOT FOOLS AND KNOW THE REAL YOU.....???????

    srini Tuesday, 02 October 2012 11:22 AM

    Madam, first you must have a firm policy.

    shantha madawela Tuesday, 02 October 2012 11:22 AM

    trying to be next Chandrika....

    kaputakukula Tuesday, 02 October 2012 11:10 AM

    You CHANGED the moment your sweet mummy was gifted with an 'advisor' post and perhaps a promise to you too. You people do not have principles.

    pachaya Tuesday, 02 October 2012 11:04 AM

    Everything has a price to change or not to change !!!!!!

    shantha madawela Tuesday, 02 October 2012 10:53 AM

    cheating to people.....

    willows Tuesday, 02 October 2012 10:49 AM

    you all will change for power and money???

    Achari Tuesday, 02 October 2012 10:37 AM

    Dot ever trust this woman.

    Lobo Tuesday, 02 October 2012 10:31 AM

    If she had to make that statement it means she's changed. Because of the power and money involved no one can be a politician and hold on to the principles and ideals they had. Sooner or later they will change.

    Little Johnny Tuesday, 02 October 2012 10:20 AM

    Issue the Interpol warrant...he'll be back soon...
