“Magistrate ruined what the minister planned” – Dummy pistol mayor asserts

Sunday, 03 May 2015

“I came to Sri Lanka from Singapore for the assurance given to me by minister Rajitha. I was in fear that they would arrest me in the airport. Everything was planned to remand me for a day and to bail out the next day. When the police told the courts that they don’t have any objection to give bail this devil (Magistrate) remanded me for 14 days. Minister thought that I should get a bailout. Next day the minister promised that he would influence the justice minister and simplify the matter” said Eraj Ravindra Fernando who has got an infamous name as the “Dummy pistol mayor” to his group of followers who went to see him to the Tangalle remand prison.

He has further told his henchmen’s that he wishes to remove all these cases before the nominations. Minister Rajitha is planning to give me nominations from Hambantota. Rajitha told me that he would be prevail the president to give me nominations from Hambantota in order to teach a lesson to the Rajapaksas. Amaraweera cannot stand with the Rajapaksa. I know what their games are. If I contest they would be scared. Minister Rajitha said to be inside the remand for sometimes and complete all the cases and come back. Please give me your support. If the SLFP comes to power Rajitha would be the leader. If so I would be the deputy prime minister.

News reaching us confirms even if Eraj is granted bail he would be subsequently arrested again. He would be arrested again for claiming extortions in the Peliyagoda fish market. The Colombo Crime is
planning to obtain an arrest warrant against Eraj Fernando for taking extortions during minister Rajitha time with his blessings.
