Under The Belt Blows Via SMS
By Raisa Wickrematunge
A mass text message sent last week accused UNP MP Dayasiri Jayasekara of engaging in covert government deals. The anonymous text message, sent on November 16 (Tuesday) informed the recipient that Jayasekara was currently on a trip to Singapore.
More disturbingly, it claimed that Jayasekara was able to make the trip using money he had earned through government deals. The sender appeared to have gone to some lengths, providing flight numbers and the name of the travel agent (Classic Travels) who allegedly booked the tickets. It was claimed that Jayasekara had checked in at 2:20 am on November 16, using his second name, Padmakumara.
“The poor voter is deceived by these kind of MPs” the text message read. Last Friday (19) Jayasekara’s phone was switched off. However, he spoke to The Sunday Leader on Thursday (25). Jayasekara vehemently denied engaging in government deals.
“If they can prove I have done such deals, I will resign from my post in parliament,” an emotional Jayasekara said.
He spoke of the mass text as a concerted effort to tarnish his reputation. What’s more, there were more than a few suspects behind the deed. “There is one lady who is crazy about my life. There are two politicians in our party and also the Megastar person who won,” Jayasekara said. He added that the lady in question had sent similar messages to people about him.
Jayasekara is also planning to initiate legal proceedings against a man known to him only as ‘Dileepa.’ Dileepa, Jayasekara alleged, had also sent ‘nasty’ messages about him, whenever he had spoken out about the need for party reforms and leadership issues. The issue had come to light when Dileepa had sent such a text message to MP Ranga Bandara, who had chastised him.
And so the matter stands. A call to the number which sent the message proved fruitless. The sender remains shrouded in anonymity. The question is, was it righteous indignation that spurred the outburst, or (and this seems likely) a personal vendetta against Jayasekara? That too, remains unknown.
THE EMAIL ALSO SAID THAT HE HAD GONE ON A HONEYMOON WITH ACHALA BOGOLLAGAMA WHO IS THE TWICE DIVORCED SISTER OF BOGGLES AND OLDER THAN DAYA SIRI.
It’s a shame, Dayasiri, if you are engaged in malpractices. U are married to Upuli’s (wife of Channa) sister and why go behind other women? Don’t become a victim for other’s pray.
This could be a smart work of RW stooges
Raisa is coming out with news not worth a paisa!
Jayasekara is very honest politician. Slandering created from Sunday leader.
Ranil Wicks is the man behind the scene. Dayasiri tell us who the lady is that is crazy over you .Sometimes maybe PABA but be careful of that 3rd grade Ajith Weerasinghe – the KING of SMS.
PABA will for MONEY and AJITH W for SMS , what more in a corrupt Sri Lanka LIKE NO OTHER !!!!!
Dayasiri is one of the MPs who could not be ‘bought’ by Mahinda.
He is a gentleman.
The anonymous gutless rotters who harass him should be ignored.
Sri Lanka needs more persons like Dayasiri.
One day Dayasiri will be the President of Sri Lanka. Mark my words.
I had big hopes for Sajith & Dayasir but just confused why Sajith hasnt criticised MR or corrupted Rajapaksa clan. Also it is suspicious how he gets jeep loads of policemen as backups…hmmm!!!!!
Yes. There are no capable leaders in UNP. General is most suit.
WE dont believe all these muck.. created by 3rd grade hooligans such the fake Megastar backed by RW and sick women who are after him like Paba and others… – Dayasiri is gentleman from all sense of the word. Nobody can tarnish his clear image. Yes Saman kumara I agree with you oneday he will become our honest democratic President..
Can you please learn some English spelling and grammar before posting comments. OMG what has happened to our standard of English? only NOT, POT is left in Sri Lanka. Please stick to reading the Sinhala papers as you are embarrassing our country. Folks in Sri Lanka hate the West and the Western life style etc, however, they want to write broken English what a joke. Please stick to your SINHALA which I am sure you are very good at.
Yes ! Dayasiri is the only leader who can attract people around UNP and he has a good family with an intelligent wife with a social background.
when one cannot win over they try to destroy that what can not be won, You are young, energetic and appealing to the people do not got hoodwinked by the Rosy kind
