Referring to the Supreme Court’s confirmation of the death sentence imposed on Duminda Silva, UNP MP Hirunika Premachandra said today as a Buddhist she felt sorry for him but as a was happy at the court ruling.

The SC on Thursday confirmed the death sentence imposed by the High Court on Duminda and two others who were convicted of the murder of former presidential adviser Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra.

She told a news briefing that she was extremely thankful to the five-judge bench of the Supreme Court who gave the verdict.

“This is a historical verdict given by the SC where the independence of the judiciary was clearly seen. If this verdict was to be given during Mahinda Rajapaksa regime, Duminda would have been freed,” the MP said.

Meanwhile, she said she was contemplating about lodging a complaint against the FCID over the allegation levelled against her about Rs.20 million given by the Welfare Society of the Maga Neguma Construction Equipment Company to fund her political activities.

“I have not been engaged in such third class work. This is a alleged attempt to tarnish my name because I have just started my political career,” the MP said. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

But it is his Karma. According to the Buddhist teaching no body could escape from bad Karma . That is common to everybody ; to Duminda, Bartha LP, you, me and President Trump.

You need not feel sorry. Those who live by the sword die by the sword.

The verdict shows the clear difference between MARAYA and YAHAPALANAYA.

Iam a firm believer that before long nature will take custody of this country and save by throwing someone who will not rob the country of its wealth. Save the masses from crafty politicians who shed buckets of tears while living in luxury at their cost

Ideally, you should have got married to him

Your words mean nothing unless you do something. So if you really mean what you say then publicly forgive him and request for his release.
