UNP To Decide On Hirunika
The United National Party (UNP) says it will meet after the holidays and discuss the course of action, if any, which needs to be taken on UNP Parliamentarian Hirunika Premachandra.
Premachandra last week brought disrepute to the UNP after it came to light that her security officers had abducted a man and took him in a vehicle registered in her name.
The General Secretary of the UNP Kabir Hashim told The Sunday Leader that the party had not met to discuss the issue with regard to the incident.
He said that due to the holiday season it was not possible to determine what action would be taken and added that after the holidays the party would meet and discuss the matter.
Meanwhile police media Spokesman ASP Ruwan Gunasekara said that Investigations are continuing into the incident.
A group of men, including five attached to the security detail of Hirunika Premachandra abducted a man last week at a shop in Dematagoda in broad daylight.
The man filed a police complaint over the incident and six suspects were later arrested and remanded.
The man claimed that he was taken to an office in Kolonnawa after being abducted where Premachandra was present. He accused her of threatening her and assaulting her. She however denied the allegations but said she was aware of the abduction and claimed that it was over a private dispute.

Hirunica should be brought to books. That said, UNP will meet after holidays, discuss the mater and will warn Hirunika. Subsequently, ‘business as usual’.
Hirunika will be admitted to hospital and then the matter will be forgotten.
How the bi**h solve public matters, if this’s the way to resolve a private dispute? These fools also will never learn from voting devils to represent people….
no one has the right to make comments either way until the impartial inquiry is done and the facts are presented. we are no judges either. there are many factions waiting to bring disrepute to the said MP and there are goons who serve as body guards to take the law unto their hands and there are supposed victims, sometimes they are purposely set up – who exploit the situation when there are known names involved.
we need to only hope the real truth will come out.. police are corrupt …
So its a difficult situation–
A woman MP and one like Hirunika who is bold and beautiful will always have hawks waiting to scrounge on anything that passes by- at the same time had she in the spur of the moment acted in haste forgetting how she should have conducted herself in matters like this- yes she has to be given the necessary punishment so that she will learn from it.
You must give hearing to both sides first. This country is soo quick to judge.
