“D”rama
Mani
Sisira Pereira, Panadura
What an interesting drama this "Mani" episode
has been.
I was quite amused the other day to read a letter by SCOPP chief Professor
Rajiv Wijesinghe to the effect that the notorious Rama Mani episode
has yet again produced some more deception stories that this “lady”
had “engineered” to remain in Sri Lanka. Seems like Mani had
been so dexterous in underhand maneuvering.
Come to think of it, of course, why not, she is an “expert”
on issues on “justice” among many other, according to the
Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP) website!!
And what a lot of justice she had done to the chief of the UNDP regional
centre in Colombo!
The UNDP chief is demanding nothing less than a downright apology from
Mani for covertly implicating him in a petition!! Whether or not the
due apology would be coming from Rama Mani, would be a good watch to
look forward to. This Indian lady could have kicked all Bolywood actresses
out of business had she chosen that line, I suppose.
DBS Jeyaraj had earlier alleged in an article that some writers who
alleged Rama Mani had a gender bias, while, at the same time, admitting
that he, himself was both biased and unbiased. Hey, why not, I might
say. Mani does have the looks and, in addition, she does seem to be
possesing the skills of an actress to "portray" different
"faces" to suit the scene!!
The letter by Mr. Omar Noman of the UNDP makes a good reading to everybody
who had been very correct in alleging that Mani was up to no good. Yet
it may be a slap on the face for all those people who tried every trick
under the sun to re-instate her Visa and also for those who tried to
whitewash her damaged reputation by writing articles in favour of her
in various media, while branding the people behind her eviction as the
villains.
There is an adage that implies that having no shame has no boundaries
(lejja nethi kama maha mudali kamatath wadaa lokuyilu). The Ancient
wisdom has obviously foreseen individuals like Mani!! Rama Mani may
have studied in the so-called best of the best of institutions in the
West and may have earned degrees, fellowships, honourary memberships
(and who knows what) to project herself as a Western advocate of justice
for humans in need. I would say, "Nice cover!"
Now that Mani, the masquerader, has proved once again beyond doubt that
she has soiled herself in the process of her covert operations in Sri
Lanka, with allegations of her (many) treachery coming to light from
unexpected quarters, there is also ample opportunity for her associates
and followers to wallow in the mess and adorn themselves with the dirt,
if they care to lean on Mani more and more.
As for us, we will sit back, relax, watch and enjoy the “dung bath
drama” by Mani and her accomplices! Good Show!!
