BARATHA’S SISTER COMPLAINTS

BARATHA’S SISTER COMPLAINTS
An allegation made by Bharatha’s sister to Speaker at funeral house embarrasses him:
To pay last respects to slain politician Bharatha Lakhsman Premachandra’s body, many politicians visited his home at his Kolonnawa residence. Amongst them was the Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa. Unfortunately he was confronted with a very embarrassing situation when the younger sister of Bharatha a resident of Canada questioned him with regard to several letters she had written to several top Government officials about the threats to Bharatha’s life from Canada.

This allegation was made when the Speaker was seated. She went on to tell him that she regretted that she was surprised that even an acknowledgement was not received to her letters of request to provide him with adequate security. She confessed that if appropriate action was initiated this situation could have been prevented.
The manner Bharatha’s sister spoke really embarrassed the Speaker and he kept silent as he would have thought that it was not the time to give explanation to Bharatha’s sister for the allegations made.
Subsequently Bharatha’s brother said this to the media: “It is very surprising that Bharatha had been shot at by 40 odd bullets, which we cannot believe. He had been brutally killed more than like an animal. In this context we need justice meted out and adequate redress.”
The ‘Sirasa’ video below shows the manner the Speaker was made to face severe embarrassment.
