Video: Malaka never assaulted an army officer-Mervyn

Friday, 14 September 2012 15:47

Minister Mervyn Silva said that his son Malaka Silva did not assault any army officer as reported.

Addressing a press conference in Colombo, Minister Silva however said that Malaka would have assaulted a man. “My son had never assaulted an army officer; he would have assaulted a man, but definitely not an army officer,” the minister said adding that “even in your childhood you had fought with others, in the younger age you would have fought and even at my age you would have had a fight with someone. That cannot be stopped, because we are human beings and it applies to my son too.”

He also said that if something had been done by his son, police could take proper action.

The minister told a news conference that the Kaliamman Kovil would not be allowed to hold the animal sacrifices scheduled for October, 16.
“The police will take necessary measures to ensure that the rituals are stopped,” the minister said.
Thun Hela Jathikaya Secretary the Ven. Omarpe Kassapa Thera said they had filed a complaint at the Chilaw police station because the temple had not obtained the necessary clearance from authorities to hold the ceremony.
“This is not a religious matter, we accept the right to practice the religion of his or her choice, but this is illegal and has to be stopped,” the Thera said.

So what he says is assaulting an ordinary individual is ok if you are a Minister's son???

-0+27 # Superior 2012-09-15 12:53

Yes Kamal, assaulting a civilian by a Big mouth Minister's son, is ok according to the idiotic father. He will never have any sensible speech to make as he has no brain on that big head.

-0+58 # Nodrog 2012-09-15 06:24

Man to man neither father or son will stand a chance in a fair fight. Both are bullies and cowards hiding behind the protection of body-guards.

-0+18 # Puran 2012-09-15 08:57

He is not saying anything sensible. He is only building up a sort of defense that he can create to confuse the army and the police.
The latest is that his son and his fellow thug will be hospitalized before they are arrested and will continue to be detained in a fancy hospital ward till a hearing before a judge.i

-0+14 # Nodrog 2012-09-14 18:52

Mervyn S has certainly earned his claim to his Doctorate and is very smart in his semantics.

His son and his thugs after all "assaulted" man but someone who was wearing an army uniform with a major's insignia..He has taken so long to remember that..

He and his henchman has had a pre arranged vist with a DIG of Police and the army is having their own investigation as to how and why this "officer" was there at that hour in the first place.

yes it is a forgone conclusion that it is the officer who is guilty and the Royal son and his thugs are the heroes..

Sometime back a "Gramasevaka Niladhari" tied himself to a tree and was there the whole day until Mervyn saw him and untied hime!!! And Mervyn got into trouble by helping him !

In this case the Major beat himself up until he got injured and Malaka took him to hospital. And now Malaka is in trouble !!!

An assault on any person whether in uniform or not is a crime under the law that we should respect and honour. Not doing so and worse even trying to justifying it simply shows the pettiness and uneducated nature of this man. We are governed by goons. What a tragedy. If he and his son have little respect for the law, being a politician in the ruling party should go to a police station and surrender. If he has done nothing wrong, then why hide himself?

There goes another cover-up for the mad Perves son... so now he assaulted a man and not an army officer... Maybe the mentioned army officer was NOT a man???

So... since when has the right to sacrifice animals in the name of religon been illegal???? Maybe since the Perve started to consume coke which his son OPENLY sells at the night clubs and like places... hahaha

It would be so nice if Mevin the Perve can hop onto a boat with the JHU, along with his drug dealing son and just sail away and be fish food???

Imagine this scenario:

Well if MR was the not president, Gotabaya could have been a senior army officer.
Then there is a possibility that Malaka could have been attacking senior officers under the blessings of his minister father under some other president.

Now he is telling Malaka didn't attack an officer is just because Gotabaya could take serious action against both

Anyways, where are those so called patriotic people like Wimal Weerawansa (Born name Wimalasiri Gamlath)?

-0+2 # Political Illiterate 2012-09-15 03:33

He was there as a witness. According to the D. Litt. they should not do this - find out illegal activity - and therefore punishable by assault. He probably thinks that the ancient kings of SL did not implement rule of law thru" the Kings Court and it was only an imperialist, neo-colonist phenomenon and should not be following any more by the democratic socialist republic. So the Assault, His son therefore is not guilty!

-0+1 # Bandara Perera 2012-09-15 04:04

I for one among the others respected you for wiping out the LTTE and uniting the country and then embarking on a development projects of SL.
