If clean she may come out cleaner
Namal Rajapaksa said not to call his mother before the Financial Criminal Investigation Division (FCID) because she did not take part in politics. You are playing a sympathy card.
Namal it is not only politicians, who are asked to appear and make statements before the FCID. It is the suspected racketeers, their accomplices and those who are bound to give clues.
If you are not an accomplice you will be vindicated as prosecution is before the Courts, which are now free as the recent judgments have shown. She is not a mere bystander on you and your Maharaja father’s alleged doings.
As an example, if a kasippu dealer hides his utensils as well as kasippu in the house, his mother, father, pregnant wife, all are bound to be questioned in this regard. She will be questioned to get at details.
So is your mother, who may give some clues on your two’s doings. How about getting a State helicopter to go from Maharagama to Ratmalana? Is it not misuse of State assets?
Namal, you are bound to be questioned soon. It is done systematically and scientifically. Your mother might under examination give a clue or two on your family’s doings. If she is clean, she may come out cleaner from the FCID.
Remember she too is an ordinary citizen today. I think you are trying to win sympathy for you and your father by this type of talk.
