It is two years since Prageeth ‘disappeared’- after leaving home fondly telling “I’ll come back”



(Lanka-e-News-26.Jan.2012, 9.30PM) As at 24th January 2012, two full years have elapsed since the disappearance of our ever loving friend and colleague Prageeth . We became aware of his disappearance exactly on the 25th morning , that is a day after his disappearance two years ago.
We moved heaven and earth to find him without avail .We have not abandoned this search until today , and we will not hereafter too.
We are in receipt of enough and more truthful information about this mysterious disappearance and we are still in need of more.
Until we are done to death we shall not abandon our efforts in this direction. We are collecting every evidence scrupulously , and some day when this lawless climate of criminal abductions , murders and disappearances changes that day we shall bring out the truth against these criminals. Wrongdoers have no patience in their criminal activities. Indeed that is why these beasts commit them so inhumanly. But , we as humans with humane feelings have stoic patience.
There is a group that had exploited the disappearance of Ekneliyagoda to propel themselves and ingratiate into the favor of the evil forces. To them , not only the sufferings of Ekneliyagoda and his family , but every tragedy that strikes every media personnel at the hands of these evil powers is an ‘event’ to celebrate and rejoice in, for their gains in pelf and position with the evil powers which pamper them is dependent on those exploitation exercises. These are the vultures in human form fattening on death and despair. That is their life , livelihood and lifestyle. They have no place in the sun otherwise.
There are also groups that concoct falsehoods about Prageeth. These groups via their jealousy and mealy mouth attitudes aid and abet these criminal wrongdoers knowingly or unknowingly.
But let us not forget to mention that the void created by Prageeth’s disappearance is felt most by his bereaved family – his ever loving wife and two young children who are ever grieving. We deeply regret that we could not join them on the 24th as we are far away. But , may we solemnly assure that some day somehow we will search and track down those behind Prageeth’s disappearance.
Have faith -we shall somehow expose the culprits and ensure that the long arms of the law will rope them in .
