Why is only my father blamed? : Onella
2017-08-04
Foreign
Affairs Minister Ravi Karunanayake's daughter Onella has made an
impassioned plea on her Facebook page asking why it was only her father
to blame “in such a huge Government?”.
“Just ask yourself? Why only one man’s name comes up all the time in
such a huge government?” she asked, making comparison to her father's
testimony.
Minister Karunanayake while testifying at the Bond Commission also asked
the same question from the Attorney General when questioned about the
undated and un-referenced letter sent under his signature.
“Why am I the only one to blame? There was collective responsibility,” he said.
Below is Onella's full Facebook post:
"Am not at all a person who uses social media to express views or
thoughts in lengthy status messages but i fell that sadly today it has
come to a point where i feel i at least have to voice out my thoughts on
the same platforms that my family is getting character assassinated on.
I have seen many articles circulated all around social media about my
father for a very long time but for the first time i feel i need to
intervene and speak out cause this particular time it is a malicious
constant attack on his character that is orchestrated by others who aim
to achieve other things trying to make my father a fall man.
I see everyone very easily resharing content on many pages on social
media but all have only one name. My fathers name. Does everyone really
believe for the last couple years everything in the government is just
one man and that we have been getting hit cause we deserve it or that
maybe there is a pattern to this madness now?
I know that when situations arise we all want to get to the bottom of
things and find someone responsible for it but are u sure that all the
sites carry facts or have you ever though that this could be well
planned and paid attempts from others in politics who would need to
cover up there sins by directing all negative attention to one man?
Everyone is entitled to freedom of speech but with freedom of speech
also comes the responsibility to know all the true facts and figures and
not only the damaging views that are paid to catch on to all.
I cannot change everyones opinions about how you see my family but i
respectfully just ask you to think before you fall prey to these well
paid character assassins targeting just one man constantly.
I have learnt bitterly over the years that politics is a dirty game and
some in it will stop at nothing to achieve the individual goals no
matter who they hurt along the way.
So if you have actually taken time to read through this fully all i want
to ask you at the end is please think. Thinking can one man do
everything all the time? Can one man always be doing these things jus to
get negative publicity or is he actually being framed and made to be
the fall man again and again?
Please all i ask you is to think before u form a one sided opinion cause
again like i have learnt the hard ways politics is not how it appears
to be. Think if u have all the facts cause i know that you will be
surprised if u really sit to think whats going on.
Just ask yourself? Why only one mans name comes up all the time in such a huge government?
Again everyone is free to think how they see it from the facts they have
but i have now given you a small view from my family's side. So please
just open your eyes and think a little because in this instance its not
any commission but the media and the public that has been the judge,
jury and executioner.
Like my father said after visiting the commission that day and coming out:
"I can accept the spearing of an enemy's arrow but the pin pricking of friends is much more hurtful," she said.
