In a blatant attempt to discredit the combined opposition, the Daily mirror reported another mudslinging news today \u00a0and says that the former minister Wimal Weerawansa\u2019s wife Sashi Weerawansa has fled her home according to the CID team assigned to arrest her said.<\/p>\n

In response to this\u00a0shameless\u00a0\u00a0report published by Daily Mirror\/Lankadeepa papers, the former minister Wimal Weerawansa says this report is totally fallacious and untrue. The police Criminal Investigation Department had asked my wife Sashi Weerawansa to come to the police Criminal Investigation Department \u00a0at Battaramulla \u00a0to take a statement on the day when we had our opposition party rally at Nugegoda. Weerawanse said ” Since my wife was in the hospital at that time, we requested them to give another day to come the police Criminal Investigation Department through a lawyer and supported by a medical certificate, . She has not left the house nor she is in hiding. She is still in the hospital and if the police wants her to make a statement they can go to the hospital at any time and take a statement.<\/p>\n

Mr. Weerawanse further says that this is another misinformation campaign\u00a0launched by close relatives of UNP political leadership\u00a0who occupy the dominant positions in the Lankadeepa\/daily mirror group and against the popularity and the admiration gained by the combined opposition movement in Sri Lanka. It is kind of tragedy that these politically manoeuvred journalists who attempt tarnish the reputation this media group maintained for a long time.<\/p>\n

The Daily mirror reported today that the former minister Wimal Weerawansa\u2019s wife Sashi Weerawansa who is alleged to have obtained diplomatic and general passports by submitting birth certificate with forged names and dates of birth, has fled her home according to the CID team assigned to arrest her said. The special CID team which arrived at her residence in Kaduwela said they could not find her there. The team had also searched several other houses believed to be possible hideouts according to the police.<\/p>\n

The report further says that at the meeting held in Nugegoda on February 18 Wimal Weerawansa questioned why the arrest of her wife was delaying and challenged that they were awaiting the police. A senior police officer said he might have said so knowing her wife\u2019s plan to escape. He said the police would however take Sashi Weerawansa into custody within the next few days. Police said she had obtained a general\u00a0 passport in May last year furnishing an application with the name of Sirja Uyanthi Weerawansa and date of birth as 01.02.1967 whereas she\u00a0 has given the name as Randunu Mudiyanselage\u00a0 Shehasa Udayanthi and the date of birth as 03.02.1971 in the application she submitted to obtain the diplomatic passport, police said. Seven police teams have been deployed in\u00a0 Kandy , Gampaha and Colombo to search and arrest Sashi Weerawansa\u00a0 police said.(Indika Ramanayake)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
