Dismissing allegations that she had threatened and assaulted a 26-year-old man who had been abducted by her support staff in a “Defender” vehicle, UNP MP Hirunika Premachandra said today that all she wanted to do was to prevent a family from breaking up.
At a special media briefing yesterday evening, the MP, who is at the centre of the controversy, said that she wanted to help one of her staff members, as his family was about to be broken up by an outsider.
Admitting that it was wrong for her support staff to carry out the unlawful act of bringing a person forcibly to her office, Ms. Premachandra said that if the injustice that that was done to her staff member was referred to the police it would have taken days for the matter to be resolved.
She said the abducted man,, who was also married, had been having an extra marital relationship with the wife of one of her staff members who had two children.
She said the abducted man had forcible taken away the wife of the staff member and was keeping her.
When the staff member went with a group of people to talk to him at the drapery shop where he worked he had refused to come out. Then the group had dragged him out and had taken him from there, Ms. Premachandra admitted.
The group had brought the man to her office in Kolonnawa and reported to her. She said she had tried to sort out the matter and advised him to end the affair as it would break up another family.
When asked whether she did the right thing, as a responsible public representative, to interfere in a personal problem in such a manner, she said that all she wanted to do was to save a family.
She added that she had willingly brought her staff members who were involved in the abduction to the police station along with the vehicle to cooperate with the police inquiry. – See more at: http://www.dailymirror.lk/100551/i-wanted-to-prevent-a-family-from-breaking-up-hirunika#sthash.LEcbxRcX.dpuf

Oh, wow. Really???? No, really???
Wasn’t she howling about fairness and good governance? Isn’t that why she left MR?
Hirunika openly admits that her thugs abducted this guy. So, now, what happens?
Let’s see how Yahapalanaya works. Over to you Ranil.
Hirunika is a perfect chip off the old man Bharatha, the thug who got whacked by another thug. Then, everyone cries of the injustice.

Like father like daughter. Both thugs.
But this may not be true because she was at Enrique Iglesias’s concert!!

She is a MP. She fought against the last government based on fairness and good governance and then does this? One could very clearly see that she is lying through her teeth. Comparing to what happened to her father cannot absolve her culpability in this abduction, assault and battery. She cannot point to other ills of the country to justify her actions.
She should be disbarred as an attorney and kicked out from parliament. Still no comment from Maithri-Ranil duo or the hacks at the bar association.
The father was a drug lord and a thug. Now, the daughter has taken over and the taxpayer is funding her illegal behavior.
Sri Lanka will always be in the toilet with politicians like this. But, then again, she got voted in by the stupid masses. They deserve what they get.

Hirunik said “if referred to the police it would have taken days for the matter to be resolved”. So this member of the ruling junta has no faith in Ranil’s gestapo police? These crooks accused MR regime of thuggery and lack of action against it’s Supporters. Now she has become the judge and the jury as well. Ranil should sack her immediately as she has no confidence in his police force and her high handed actions. Will someone do this to Rajitha’s son for abducting an under aged girl?

සිරිසේනගේ හඳහන අනුව 2016 අප්‍රියෙල් මස 4 වනදා හෙනහුරු මහා දසාව තුල චන්ද්‍ර උදු දසාව ලබයි. ඔහුගේ හඳහනේ චන්ද්‍ර 12 වැන්නේ සිටීමෙන් නැතිවීම, විනාශය සහ නොලැබීම පිළිඹිඹු කරයි. 2016 අප්‍රියෙල් සිට 2017 අප්‍රියෙල් දක්වා මෙම නරක කාලය පවතී.
අප්‍රියෙල් මස ශුක්‍ර ග්‍රහයා සිරිසේනගේ 6 වන ස්ථානයේ ගමන් කරන බැවින් සතුරු උවදුරු වලට ගොදුරු වේ. ශරීර ආපදා සුලබ වේ. රනිල්ටද මහා නරක කාලයක් මාර්තු සිට ලබයි. මෙම අපල නායකයන් තබා ගැනීමෙන් රටටම හෙනහුරු ලබයි.
සිරිසේන ජනපති වන විට ඔහු හෙනහුරු මහා දසාව ගෙවමින් සිටියේ 2014-2015 තුල හෙනහුරු උච්ච වීමෙන් ලබූ මහා බලයෙනි.
උපුල් ජෝසප් නොකියන්නේ, UNP නායකයන් 2014 සිරිසේන තෝරා ගත්තේ මෙම මහාර්ඝ ග්‍රහ පිහිටීම නිසා. එය හරිගියා.
දැන් එහි විපාක ගෙවීමට ඇති කාලයයි.

This woman is showing her THUGGERY nature to even the journalists. She called the media and complaining about coverage of her fathers death !
She said there is no one who can speak Sinhala in “women’s affairs” place to complain. Is it in Jaffna ?
She has confessed that she “spoke” to the man. Then there are reports that she was not there when the man was abducted, she was somewhere else. How can both these stories be true ? Was the man taken there twice ?
Maximum punishment shall be give to this woman, before punishing the thugs who took her orders.

The difference between yahapalanaya and previous thugpalanaya is at least there is a judicial process going on. What happens to her will test how serious Ranil and Sirisena on Yahapalanaya

Hirunika Premachandra she look so pretty I am sure she is not lying .

LORENZO ! What is your point ? What may not be true ? Yes, she says on Youtube that she was with some Parliamentarians, when the incident happened. Possibly true, possibly not. Lets go into the whole episode.
SA K !! A Pretty women never lies Eh ? Yet she can threaten the Victim, saying I am a Lawyer, I can ABDUCT anybody at anytime. I know how to get out of it. That is what the Victim says. According to you, that too is a lie. Lets say OK.
MP Hirunika admits that she intervened in a Domestic Problem. If at all it is entirely Private and Personal.
How come her Government Vehicle **THE DEFENDER** was used by Eight Thugs, known and accepted by MP as her Bodyguards. Six are now in custody. The other TWO has to be identified. Simple, peruse the CCTV with a fine tooth comb.
The MP says that they, THE ABDUCTORS, HER SUPPORTERS, have used the DEFENDER without her expressed permission. Then, the SIX or Eight Abductors who took the DEFENDER without permission, in Criminal Terms, has ROBBED the Defender, to commit a Criminal Offence, of Abducting an Individual, with or without the expressed permission of the MP, who is the Registered Owner of the DEFENDER.
Nevertheless, THE THUGS, THE ABDUCTORS, took the said Abductee to the MPs office in Kolonnawa, and was physically man-handled and pushed into the MPs office. That very moment, THE MP was in her Office with the Victim Abductee. She had asked the THUGS, **is this the man** etc and conversations took place. For her to ask like that, She has to know what went on right from the beginning, as she admitted that she was only trying to stop a family break up.
So, what we know is what we see in the news, and what we see on Youtube. Who said what, is left to the Police Investigators.
AN MPs GOVERNMENT VEHICLE IS USED BY SOME INDIVIDUALS TO COMMIT A CRIMINAL OFFENCE, WITH OR WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE REGISTERED OWNER, THE MP.
LET US HAVE PATIENCE, AND SEE THE VERDICT OF THE COURT RULING.

Just one more aspect. Who was the Driver of the DEFENDER, at time of it been taken for an ABDUCTION.? He has to be paid by the Government. Then it is a more serious case for him. The other Body-guards, are they also paid by the Government too ? If the DEFENDER was not driven by the AUTHORISED DRIVER, to drive the said vehicle, then who did drive ? Did he have the Driving License to Drive a Heavy Vehicle ? THE POLICE WILL HAVE TO SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO THESE DETAILS TOO.

Susantha,
Illegal ABDUCTION cannot be a good thing when the abducted people who support X and bad thing when the abducted is a supporter or Y, because it is very likey that both X=Y=crooks.
ABDUCTION is violence and we all must condemn it, be it by the state or thugs. This is one of the basic reasons why our voice is not heard in the world. We must look at our behaviour as a country and improve it 500% rather than keep calling ourselves Buddhists.
But I will see another aspect. This “innocent youth” ( Thoththa Baba) has 2 children and his wife is doing slave services overseas expecting him to look after her children. What is he doing ? He is breaking another family.
ZERO symapthy must go to this THOTHTHA BABA at the same time.

SW,
Did you watch the video in my link?
Nothing serious.
This woman has done a crime by ASSUMING THE DUTY OF SHARIA POLICE.
The man is a dirty person. He sent his wife to Saudi and enjoying sex with another married woman with his wife’s money. Disgusting.
But that is NOT a crime. NO ONE can punish him.

But this incident will NOT reduce HIRUNIKA’S votes. Her voters would LOVE her for what she did apparently to “save a family”.
This is called POLITICS. You give your voters what THEY VALUE and you will win elections. IF they want PUNNAKKU, give them punnakku. What’s the use of giving a donkey the BEST STEAK in the world. It will reject it. Give it punnakku and it will lovingly eat.

NANDA !! Nowhere have I said that Illegal Abduction is a Good thing. All commenters in this forum condemns it.
I see that you are seeing another aspect. Well that is the same perspective as that of the MP. There are Courts and Police to settle this kind of dispute. You have no jurisdiction to pass strictures on this issue. Ofcourse your point of view is accepted in this forum. There may be thousands of ” another aspect ” in Colombo alone. All these are personal Private disputes.
The MP has not acted Lady Like, and to some aspect mis-used her parliamentary powers, in a reprehensible manner, being associated in a criminal abduction, with her official vehicle, THE DEFENDER being used. She is openly being incivil and discourteous, to the Media she summoned, by just getting up from her seat, saying **GOOD NOGHT** without answering the questions put to her. Apparently it was too embarrassing to answer them. We are all talking on what we see on Youtube and news. Our point of view may be wrong, and our point may be BLUNT.

LORENZO ! No, I could not watch the link. I have to type it.
You and I and everybody knows how many women are out of the Country as Domestic Aids. There are 78,000 in Saudi as per news reports. So what do you think the men may be doing to satisfy Mother Natures requirements. It is unfair for us to say, ‘ Dirty Person ‘ and ‘ THOTHTHA BABA ‘
What the MP has done is to circumvent the Law, and take it into her own hands, both as a LAWYER, and as a PALIAMENTARIAN. REPREHENSIBLE EH ? REPREHENSIBLE. DISGUSTING. Her belligerent attitude on Youtube is, I believe her true Nature. MORE OF IT, WE WILL SEE IN THE FUTURE.
AS you say, this is called Politics. I will say, The Dirty Side of Politics.
