Vajira gets Deshabandu as ‘servant boy’! 

Monday, 09 March 2015

Former Galle district MP, Galle electoral organizer Vajira Abeywardena has been fortunate to find a ‘police servant boy’ from among the 23 senior policemen, politically-victimized during the previous regime, who were transferred on March 07 by the public security ministry.

Accordingly, Matara SSP Deshabandu Tennakoon was transferred to Galle. Deshabandu was Vajira’s choice because he is well known to do such work as taking children to school, doing work in the home garden, cleaning homes, especially lavatories, putting up flags for ceremonies and cutting others’ flags, pasting posters and removing posers of others, issuing threats and filing false charges against opponents.

Deshabandu will do all these for Vajira now, with similar experiences in the previous Rajapaksa regime, during which he had done such work for Dullas Alahapperuma, Lakshman Yapa Abeywardena, Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena and Chandrasiri Gajadheera. These days, he is spending sleepless nights, going through his old diaries to find his UNP connections in the past. Entries most favoured by him are those he had made in the period he began as a policeman at Sirikotha.  Those in the police department say Deshabandu got the transfer by showing those diary entries to Vajira.
