Dhanuna Thilakarathne, the son-in–law of Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka said he was yet to decide if he were to enter politics.

He said that he had received invitations from several political parties.

“Yes, I have received invitations from many parties but I am yet to make a decision on it. Let’s see,” he said, not providing a definite answer, when questioned by journalists.

He spoke outside the Colombo High Court where he was indicted for several offences.

“Five years of my life was lost because the Rajapaksa decided to make filing cases against me a hobby. We suffered due to this and I can’t get them back. But I’m confident that justice would prevail and have full confidence in the Judicial System of the country,” he said. (Sanath Desmond)

Nobodies are made somebodies by being brought into the limelight by the most strange circumstances. Another example is Malaka Silva. Is Sri Lanka so short of good men to enter Parliament.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO GET INTO POLITICS, CHILD? IS IT BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW MUCH OF WATER YOU DRAW FROM THIS WELL, IT NEVER RUNS DRY?

He is well qualified to become a politician. He learned to make money from his Father-in-law. He can outdo the earlier ministers.

Dharma De Silva Thursday, 02 April 2015 09:20 AM
