Duminda recovering slowly: Sri J’pura Hospital Director
Parliamentarian Duminda Silva is recovering slowly and has been removed from the life supporting system, Sri Jayawardenapura General Hospital Director Dr. Shavendra Gamage said.
“He is conscious. But he is yet to come to the required level where we can say he is conscious. It will take days, weeks or even months. But we are closely monitoring him,” he said.
“We are happy as he is stable and satisfied now since we have been providing him with all necessary treatment as the hospital is equipped with all the modern facilities,” he said.
“We have kept the ventilator close to him in case of an emergency,” he added. The parliamentarian was put on a ventilator following the surgery which was conducted last Saturday where two bullets were removed from his skull. However one bullet remains in his skull.
The neurosurgeon Dr. Maheshi Wijeratne and her team are visiting him throughout as a part of the process in ascertaining his situation and his improvement.
A large number of Duminda Silva’s supporters and his security personnel have been inside the Sri Jayawardenapura Hospital since Saturday evening.

That’s good news. The Defence Ministry, which has been doing a fantastic job in the post-war period under the leadership of Duminda is likely to lose its way in his absence.
There are emerging threats to SL’s security from the Gunaratnam faction of the JVP which apparently is being financed by diaspora LTT rump.
The Defence Ministry should be on the alert and respond to these threats quickly and appropriately and it is only Duminda who can do so.
In parallel, SL should pursue the international conspirators who caused Duminda’s temporary absence. Remember, the late VP attempted something similar on the Defence Secretary’s and the disgraced Army Commander’s lives just prior to the peak of the war.
Hey all these are from the Mahinda’s government duminda is one of the best gudu Master in sri lanka Rajapaksjha’s family knows that and keeping scilent hich meant back door money… people here accuse the Duminda are sinhalist and people who cast vote for the duminda also Sinhalist we lough at you
Guys., i found a reasonable story about this. That’s MR has had a problem to select a one who can bear the defeat by UNP, to contest for colombo, while knowing definit defeat in colombo.
Bharatha has told that he can’t take the challenge, when MR asked him to contest for colombo and then he has proposed Dumindas name to MR. It may because he enjoys his enemy Dumindas defeat.
Then Duminda also has said that he can’t. Meanwhile MR has put innocent Millnda in contest & MR may has thought to teach a good lesson to both Bharatha – Duminda refusers, by letting them fight in same area. MR has thanked Millinda also in the end for contesting too.
Isn’t it a ‘thinkable’ story based on papers than other ‘Tin-cabal’ news for now..
And more news come from papers that evidencing as the story i said above, Gota also has supported Duminda by ignoring Bharatha.
MR seems has given sword to the monkey..!
I find it difficult to envisage that Duminda is silly to carry-out such an act without the green light of a higher-up within the party.
If Bharatha is so influencial being the Presidential strongman within the Unions, it is hard to believe Duminda did this without anyone’s support.
At a young age..with the influence Duminda had,…sure he must have taken everything for granted….
I still believe, this guy is just admitted in the hospital to save himself…but no bullet in his head…He’ll be sent to another country…to get back in couple of years…to begin another Kudu empire in Sri-Lanka.
Friends correct me if I am wrong…
If Duminda had not been injured, Bharatha supporters will know it well & they won’t be this much calm too. Ok.!
