Social media criticisms on Anura Kumara's son's wedding
A series of photographs in connection with the wedding of Kasun, son of JVP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayaka was for the first time released on a website belonging to a former member of the JVP. It was later published at most places in the internet and resulted in creating much dialogue.
In this connection much details were published in relation to Kasun and one opinion that was raised was that being educated at a private university which
was supposed to be contradictory to Anura Kumara's politics. Details that appeared therein spoke about information that Kasun operated as the chauffeur of Mr. Anura Kumara for a period of about 3 years and that he was employed at Mihin Lanka during the Mahinda regime and that after that company was invalidated, he switched over to Air Lanka. Subsequently that he entered into marriage with Lisa whom he happened to get to know there.
Numerous talks have scattered around about his education and reasons were quoted as securing employment through political reasons. Whatever it is, though Kasun Dissanayaka was quoted as Anura Kumara's son, it was exposed in this discussion that truly he was not born to Anura Kumara and that he was a son who was born to his wife of his earlier marriage. It was also revealed that Anura's wife was someone who was closely related to Anura. What was said at another place was that Kasun too was engaged in JVP activities, going on Anura's footsteps.
Nobody has tried to comment as to whether these revelations are true or false. Though keeping information about one's private life a secret is a part of JVP member's practice, it has been subjected to the challenge within the framework of modern media processes, it is to be seen. By now, the Facebook Page connected to Kasun has been deactivated.
