One couldn’t blame Minister Keheliya Rambukwella’s son alone for misbehavior in a situation where children of other ministers were also up to various mischief, United National Party (UNP) charged today.“Sons of other prominent members of the government are even going to the extent of assaulting people,” UNP Badulla District MP Harin Fernando told journalists.
Mr. Fernando claimed that foreign passengers who were on the aircraft on which Minister Rambukwella’s son was flying had shouted ‘Asian idiots, Asian idiots’ when he mistakenly tried to open the cabin door.
He said children of several ministers and even the sons of Prime Minister D. M. Jayaratne are to contest the Provincial Council elections.
He said advertisements of these ruling party candidates have come up in news papers even before the elections are declared.(Yohan Perera and Ajith Siriwardana) (Pix by Pradeep Pathirana)

Sri Lanka ‘A’ team cricketer Ramith Rambukwella, the son of Mass Media and Information Minister Keheliya Ramukwella, said yesterday that he had been sleep-walking when he tried to open the cabin door of a British Airways passenger flight at a height of 35,000 feet. He said he had not been drunk.
Rambuwella junior told The Island that he had been somnambulist since his childhood and had not been aware of what he was doing when he tried to force open the exit door of the British Airways flight from St. Lucia to Gatiwick.
"It was only very much later that I realised what had happened.
Rambukwella said: “We were too tired and had not been able sleep the previous day due to our busy schedule. I am not stupid to open a cabin door in midair. As for those who complain and accuse me of being drunk, all I have to say is to wait till the medical reports are released. They would show whether any alcohol was in my blood. The British Airways has already released a report with regard to this incident,"
