Disappeared journalist Prgaeeth Ekneligoda’s wife Sandya Ekneligoda today said the Rajapaksas will not be free from her curse until justice is meted out to her husband even after 12 years of suffering and agony.

Sandya Ekneligoda addressed the media today to announce that she was being selected among the BBC 100 Women series for 2022 on December 6th as an activist from Sri Lanka.

“On January 25th, 2022 on the completion of 12 years since the disappearance of my beloved husband, I shaved my head and dressed up in black robes to make the powerful curse of ‘Swamibhakthi Athura Maha Sapaya’ to Rajapaksas, who are responsible for the fate of Prageeth.

It is a very powerful curse and none of them will ever be free of it until justice is meted out to my husband one day,” Sandya Ekneligoda said.

She said that she was proud to be selected to the BBC 100 Women season 2022 from Sri Lanka under the category of Activism and Advocacy, where 25 notable women will be selected worldwide.

“I first came in front of a camera on January 25th, 2010 when my husband was abducted or disappeared and since then I have travelled a long journey through various unexplainable hardships in search of justice to my husband.

It is 4,712 days since they have taken Prageeth from us and my quest is not over. During this journey many good hearted people have helped me whilst some have delayed and objected me from courtroom to police station,” she said.

“When I was in the police station on January 25th, 2010 incumbent President Ranil Wickremesinghe called me and said not worry as he will help to find Prageeth. Today he has become the President of this country and all I request from him is although he couldn’t find Prageeth by taking the political pressure off the witnesses, at least to help thousands of others suffering from political victimization to find their justice,” she said.

You are not alone mam, thousands of tamil people also disappeared by both GR and MR rules, still no answer to them, it’s heartbreaking for not knowing the fate of their loved ones. MR

Sandya, I feel sorry for you. Sadly I must tell you very clearly the Rajapakses were responsible for your husband disappearance. They not only kill your husband, but they did other crimes as well. The Sinhala people did not make any comments when the Tamils were killed by the Rajapakes. Daily Mirror will not publish my comments. But God will.

Sadly Srilankans wont respect strong women like you and Hirunika who fight against the criminal politicians like MR and RW. They would rather be happy picking the crumps falling from the table of these thugs and attack Aragala.

A very heartwrenching appeal for justice.

It is said that 'Birds of the same feather flock together'. RR is no different to the rest of the Thuggish family from deep south. It is said that "a calf that roams with a pig will also eat excrement'. I leave it to the readers' imagination to seek the calf and the pig in this idiomatic phrase.

We need to know who is behind Rugby Player Thajudeen’s killing. All Sri Lankans know who is responsible this murder. He will not be allowed to go scot free.

Sorry, you are sadly mistaken, whom you spoke in 2010 WAS Ranil Wickremesinghe, the present IS Ranil Rajapakse.

The whole country knows that champika ranawaka killed Eknaligoda and Daya Ratnayake. Why is this woman ranting about the Rajapakses? This is an NGO-paid nutcase who is on a personal mission.

Yes, we have seen what went on with them this year! The curses are powerful and destructive!’

You don't need to curse nor make black magic. Natural justice is slow but is definite not only on Rajapakse's but all those who assisted in these crimes. Today Sinhalese even do not want to admit they are Sinhalese when out of the country.

I respect honor your main goal that Rajapakshes' should be brought before justice once SJB comes to power and Field Marshall Sarath Fonseka will take over the Chief of Defense ministry.

Keep it up. The NOGs'' are there to feed you, taking care of you, produce placards for you, and organise media briefing for you. And you have to make sure the curse is going on and put the blame on Rajapakshes, even if you found someone else was responsible for PE's missing.

The lady thundered in Geneva, that if, I a Sinhalese speaking person is finding this difficult to seek justice for the disappearance of my husband, I can’t imagine the plight of thousands of Tamil speaking mothers and wives in the the country who are seeking Justice for their disappeared loved one! When these thugs meet their makers, the maker will be speechless.

Who is fooling who? Tuesday, 20 December 2022 04:00 PM

Looks like your curse hadn't worked. They are still flying high. Look at the security surrounded by them whenever they go out. We know who's paying you to use the Rajapakshas as killers while you know wholeheartedly that Ranawaka has lots to do with your husband's disappearance.

Madam our hearts go out to you. The perpetrators of the disappearance of Prageeth and many others are now experiencing a small part of their karma. They will face much more in the future and will suffer in their after-life as well.

There are two comments attributing the death of Eknelgoda to some one other than Rajapaksas. Anyway we know that some day the murderers who are enjoying freedom now will have to pay for not only killing of Eknelgoda but others like Lasantha, Thajudeen, Raviraj and others.
