Govt. is taking revenge even from our children - Anoma Fonseka

Sunday, 23 March 2014 

Deputy Secretary of the Democratic Party, Anoma Fonseka, has stated that the Rajapaksa government is taking revenge even from her children.

Addressing a rally held in Pandura Anoma Fonseka expressed the following thoughts:

"I have never spoken about the way in which this government exacts vengeance from our children. Only I know the hardships I underwent as a mother. It has been four years since our elder daughter was married. The government fell to the low level of shaking up her marriage and to this day, my husband and I are saddened about the trouble that was caused to my daughter’s marriage.

I have not spoken about this until now. There is a reason that I am saying this today.  It has been four years since my daughter has been unable to see her husband.

At the same time, when my younger daughter arrived in the island, we had to face numerous questions at the airport. she was interrogated by the CID. The primary cause for this was that he contested the Presidential Election.

Is this democracy? My daughter is still appealing to see her husband.  We speak of a proud father but the father does not understand the woes of the children. I say to all women here, do not fall into the situation that I have fallen into. We must initiate change before this occurs. I will take the fore in this matter.”
