“It is very difficult to shut the mouth of the mine.” – Arjuna Ranatunga
In a press conference held today, Mr Arjuna Ranatunga was asked about the 02 billion defamation lawsuit against him by Sri Lanka Cricket. He also says that the people who oppose the changes made for the well-being of the sport in this country are those who mishandle the sport. He further requested the lawyers not to provide any assistance to such persons.
“When the people of this country ask for a system change, when they do it, the public can see who is against it. I also want to take these people to court because those people should be taken to court. I have not received the documents for that yet. I am not personally afraid. This is what I am doing. It is very difficult to shut up the person named Arjuna Ranatunga. I am speaking in the right way. I will answer through lawyers if I have said something in a way that will cause them problems.

“இந்த நாட்டு மக்கள் அமைப்பு மாற்றத்தைக் கேட்கும்போது, அதைச் செய்யும்போது, அதற்கு எதிராக யார் இருக்கிறார்கள் என்பதை பொதுமக்கள் பார்க்க முடியும். நானும் இந்த மக்களை நீதிமன்றத்திற்கு அழைத்துச் செல்ல விரும்புகிறேன், ஏனென்றால் அந்த மக்களை நீதிக்கு முன் நிறுத்த வெண்டும். அதற்கான ஆவணங்கள் எனக்கு இதுவரை கிடைக்கவில்லை. நான் தனிப்பட்ட முறையில் பயப்படவில்லை. அர்ஜுன ரணதுங்கவின் வாயை மூடுவது மிகவும் கடினம். நான் சரியாக பேசுகிறேன். அவங்களுக்கு பிரச்சனையாக ஏதாவது சொன்னால் வழக்கறிஞர்கள் மூலம் பதில் சொல்வேன். மற்றபடி ஒவ்வொருவரும் சொல்வதை எண்ணிப் பார்ப்பவன் நான் அல்ல”.
