There is no reason for CBK to make these allegations. I dont think there is anyone who want to kill her particularly now when she is not in power.

Dear Lankaputhra,

CBK still a figure head and she has a considerable say in the upcoming mini elections and SLFP nominees.  In SLanka one doesn't has have power to get killed.  For example, two girls got killed bu the LTTE for loving (by the way, today is the Valentine day!!!), surely these girls did not have any power!

What about all the Sri Lankans who placed their trust in her and whom she duped for 11 full years? I am sure there are many among that lot, who, if it were not a crime and there was a very simple way to do it, would opt to kill her.

It is not the LTTE that she should be scared of. It is the common man she loved to dupe.

CBK has lost her immunity. All her corrupt deals during the eleven years should now be probed. But she is now staging a comeback as a prominent activist of the SLFP ! ! She knows the those in positions of power who benefitted from her largesse - including politicians, high rankers in the armed forces & police, beaurocrats, diplomats, judges and even MR, will not do anything.
After all, this is a democratic socialist republic - and not an ordinary democracy like the others in the United Nations ! !

She should live in England or France  without troubling the SL govt asking for more protection and spend tax payers money on her. She has hoarded enough money for the rest of her life. Sri Lankans have already forgotten her and looking forward for a better future. Good bye and Good Riddance.
