Will lead the struggle against the injustice done: Hirunika Premachandra
Hirunika Premachandra, the daughter of slain presidential advisor Bharatha Lakshman Premachndra yesterday pledged she would lead the struggle against the injustice that had been done to her father and would continue the services he had rendered during his political career.
Speaking at Mr. Premachndra’s funeral at Umagiriya Park yesterday she requested the people of Kolonnawa to join her in her struggle of seeking justice to her father. “Join me in this struggle for the sake of your loving Lucky Aiya,” she told the crowds, filled with emotion.
She questioned as to whether her father who was a fearless and honest person should face such a cruel end.
Ms. Premachandra also paid tribute to the others who were killed in the Election Day incident.
She thanked the large crowds who flocked in to pay their last respects to her father. “I salute you loving people of Kolonnawa for coming in numbers to show gratitude to my father,” she finally said.
The late Presidential Advisor’s son Randiv Premachnadra said their door would always be open for the people in Kolonnawa just as it was during the days of his father. “We will always be there to help you whenever you want,” he told the crowd.

Does this mean Hirunika will contest the vacant seat of Kolonnawa at the by-election to fill the vacant post? If kudu D ever recovers, I hope not, he will come after HP to enjoy what he is good at with young maidens. Perhaps she should teach him a lesson then.
Nicholas,
This young (and spirited) lady is being threatended. Her dad who was a symbol providing leadership and protection not only to his family but to a whole community has been felled by a pack of ruthless conspirators out to besmirch the reputation and aspirations of our nation.
Any human being when put under extreme threat will react on the basis of animal instincts which we harbour.
Nicholas, give the young lady a bit of time to settle down and get a handle on her new environment devoid of her dad. If she really inherited leadership genes form her dad, they will manifest potential in due course.

In the middle of the night
Murder has been done for money
Murder has been done for a fix

A sanctimonious look
Murder is fond of information
And has a taperecorder handy to tell
Murder likes statements made in confinement
Murder wants a signature as well
Murder has clubbed with a feather
Murder can stab with a pen
Murder comes to all from little plastic buttons
Pressed by the mildest men
Murder comes in every shape and colour
Murder can be perfumed or smelly
And only one thing can be said for certain
Murder always has a button on it’s belly
Murder has been managed in armour
Murder has hurt in a glove
Murder is like everything human
It has even been done for love
