Audio: He will move forward- Apsara

A A A

The elder daughter of Sarath Fonseka, Apsara Fonseka said her father would move forward in a very simple manner.

In an interview with Daily Mirror online, about the ordeal her family had gone through during the past two and a half years she said “His main goal is to provide freedom and bring successes to the country. I don’t think he cares about power or position. He will find his own way to do it.

Everyone knows that he once said he would never let another Army Commander have to fight a war and he kept to his word. He has proven that he keeps to his word one hundred percent of the time, and I am sure that this time too he will keep to his word.” (DS)

    Beware, He will definitely wipe out the JVP & the " "Paraputugami JVP" if given power. Wait and see.

    Lanka Demo Crazy Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:00 AM

    raj Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:00 AM

    HE IS NOT COWARD, HE IS REAL HERO,...................

    ibba Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:08 AM

    You Donkey can't understand he was kept 'cos they knew only he could crush the LTTE.

    Hasthi Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:16 AM

    I think he should step away from politics for some time, engage only in honest social service. After he is sure of the political opportunists he should form a very independent party based on real values of honesty, equality and unite like-minded people of all races, religions and bring about a just society.

    If he heads to politics straight away, he will end up like all of our current politicians who may have followers but are not really respected even among the own followers.

    The family need to support him along such a path.

    Ahinsakaya Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:12 AM

    three things, 1 He never made money when he was the commandeer - proof is that even if he made 05 cts they would have investigated and charged him. 2. He is man loyal to the constitution. He will wipe out underground in North, East and South 3) He will allow experts to do their work without interfering as he is a disciplined man.

    Ahinsakaya Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:25 AM

    He did not gain any personal benefit by being commander. Instead he clear country from Terrorism.Gota and Mahinda appointed him because of his capabilities and not as a favour

    Senna Wednesday, 30 May 2012 06:00 AM

    Support the Government and TNA to develop the country for all Srilankans. Life is very short.

    Lankan Lad Wednesday, 30 May 2012 04:33 AM

    SF is an officer and a gentleman. A man who served in the Army for so many years and fought a war for country' sake even before the Rajapaksas came to power. Almost sacrified his life for the country, not like a baya Gota who ran away from the Army. SF is more patriotric than the ones in power. Our rulers are a bunch of murderers, thugs, and robbing the country and its citizens wealth.

    Shahim Wednesday, 30 May 2012 06:07 AM

    cant change !

    sangakkra Wednesday, 30 May 2012 06:18 AM

    I observe that General Fonseka had not visited any Christian, Muslim, Hindu places of worship or met any heads of minority religious organisations to get their blessings also.

    gowravi Wednesday, 30 May 2012 06:30 AM

    Yes pls, Right words ....

    ajay prakash Wednesday, 30 May 2012 11:01 AM

    Esala Thursday, 31 May 2012 07:10 AM

    Correct he never make money. Only givin contract to son in law for supply equipment to Army. Danno danithi.

    Lal.Fernando. Tuesday, 29 May 2012 05:37 AM

    Dear Apsara I wish you your sister and your loving mother to stay behind your loving father and the husband all the way.Your father is a strong man physically and mentally. Lots of people who are responsible in putting your father in prison have none of your father's great ways. Your loving father will bring true democracy to our beautiful island Sri Lanka. He wii be the Nelson Mandella of Sri Lanka.

    sxhabeeb Tuesday, 29 May 2012 03:45 AM

    Sandaruwan Tuesday, 29 May 2012 04:17 AM

    Jayawewa SF,

    Dinesh Tuesday, 29 May 2012 04:32 AM

    Advise him to go abroad and come back when there is an oppertunity like what Gota did.

    Kumar Tuesday, 29 May 2012 04:51 AM

    Move forwards, towards US , NGO and Tamil diaspora.

    Karate Kid 5 Tuesday, 29 May 2012 04:51 AM

    yes, SF must move forward. That's for sure. Hope he will choose right path, right people and more importantly "RIGHT WORDS" for God's sake!

    charlie kukula Tuesday, 29 May 2012 04:54 AM

    kusume e Tuesday, 29 May 2012 04:56 AM

    E Tuesday, 29 May 2012 05:01 AM

    achtung Tuesday, 29 May 2012 05:24 AM

    go Arjuna go!!!!

    Ind Tuesday, 29 May 2012 05:28 AM

    Fighting against war and ruling a country are two different things. SF thinks that he can do anything and everything !!

    shanaka Tuesday, 29 May 2012 03:30 AM

    we will help your father get there

    Fusion Tuesday, 29 May 2012 05:38 AM

    Women in this country have hearts of steal (Unlike many of us men).

    Lal Suranjith Tuesday, 29 May 2012 05:41 AM

    His vision is good, he should be careful when selecting people to go forward, Sri Lanka is a country with full of corruption, thuggery , back stabbing, misleading, mouths are full of lies you name any bad thing all you can see among Srilankan politicians
    We will support him with blood too if he choose right people in to his team to go forward

    ANTON Tuesday, 29 May 2012 05:48 AM

    Another political daughter.

    Fayad Tuesday, 29 May 2012 06:07 AM

    As a solider we respect SF for his brave act
    As politician I have my doubts.

    Wewala Tuesday, 29 May 2012 11:20 AM

    Dear daughter, aren't you really greatful to Gota and Mahinda for not letting your Father to retire at 55', but made hom the military comander for the army.

    Ad Dad Da Tuesday, 29 May 2012 12:16 PM

    I totally agree

    nimal Tuesday, 29 May 2012 12:16 PM

    He was a good commander but not a politician He must make use of the freedom and do meditation and developed the mind

    He should have joined UNP or government party rather forming party or do bud hist work

    Haleem Deen Tuesday, 29 May 2012 08:29 PM

    Really Shanaka? How may I ask. SF needs to be coached in diplomacy. He is no more the commander of the SL Army though he still commands a lot of respect. In the same token he also has a lot of enemies. Now that he is aspiring to be the President( Let us be clear of his intentions!!) he needs to be diplomatic rather than be confrontational.

    Leo Fernando Wednesday, 30 May 2012 04:13 AM

    I am sure this great real hero;will always Turns his word in to actions.Do not forget sir that millions of people are always behind you.

    B.B. Marasingha Wednesday, 30 May 2012 04:24 AM
