New President\u2019s mother recalls humble beginnings of her son-by Anthony David<\/span><\/h2>\n

Source:<\/span><\/strong>Sundaytimes<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The road to presidency by Anura Kumara Dissanayake, the country\u2019s ninth executive president, has not been a bed of roses, unlike his predecessors.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"elanka\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

At 86, the President\u2019s mother D.M. Seelawathi had difficulty expressing herself and has to be helped by her 62-year-old daughter. Pix by M.A. Pushpa Kumara<\/span><\/p>\n

The humble beginnings and the hardships were many. \u201cOnce the custodian of a Buddhist temple asked me to release him to be ordained. He was then 12 years old. I did not agree,\u201d recalls his mother, D.M. Seelawathi. Years later, her son Anura could not attend his father\u2019s funeral. Police and the troops were waiting at home to arrest him, she revealed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once I took Anura to an astrologer when he was about six months old to have his horoscope read, and with a stunned face, he told me that my son would be \u2018king\u2019 one day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

At 86, she had considerable difficulty expressing herself and had to be helped by her 62-year-old daughter, D.M. Sriyalatha.<\/span><\/p>\n

I met her in a modest house developed under the Mahaweli H system in the Kalawewa electorate. They had shifted there in 1972. It is a ten-minute drive from the farming town of Tambuttegama (25 kilometres from Anuradhapura) off a rugged road. It passes a playground. The grass in the middle has worn out after cricket invaded the sleepy village. It shows in the pitch. Next is a Buddhist temple. A few minutes\u2019 drive later, is the home protected by barbed wire. There are signs that repairs have been carried out with new roofing sheets on one side.<\/span><\/p>\n

Daughter Sriyalatha escorted her mother to an armchair in the living room. In front of it lay a television set. \u201cShe watches the news in the night. Every time my brother appears, she asks, \u2018eya magey putha da\u2019 (or is that my son?). She dotes over him,\u201d said Sriyalatha. \u201cIn return, my brother Anura, too, is very fond of her. Whenever he is in this part of the country, he visits us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The mother recalled President Dissanayake\u2019s younger days. He would play with kites. His other daily preoccupation was swimming, which he excelled at. Every day, he would go to the nearby Nalachchiya tank, a five-minute walk from home, for a swim. On a more serious side, she disclosed that her son Anura was a voracious reader. \u201cBooks were like food to him. There was an araliya tree opposite our house. He would climb it, perch himself on a branch, and read aloud a book,\u201d she said whilst smiling. \u201cHe always needed a book or a newspaper when we sat at the table for a meal. I never had to ask him to study. He would always do that on his own,\u201d she recalled.<\/span><\/p>\n

D.M. Sriyalatha: The President\u2019s sister<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnura\u2019s father or my husband,\u201d Ms. Seelawathie said, \u201cworked at the Surveyor General\u2019s Department. He passed away in 1992. That was the most difficult time for us. This heightened Anura\u2019s resolve to keep going on the journey he embarked on,\u201d said Ms. Seelawathie.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to his mother, Anura\u2019s interest in politics grew when he was doing his GCE Advanced Level examination. Then he faced death threats. His father\u2019s brother, with whom he closely associated, was murdered. \u201cI am both happy and proud about where my son is today,\u201d she declared.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy son,\u201d she said, \u201cis not a liar or fraudster. He gets angry when he hears stories about such activity. My prayer is to go to sacred places in Anuradhapura to invoke blessings for my son. He has come from humble beginnings.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Those humble beginnings were reflected in events related to President Dissanayake assuming office and even before. During the election campaign, a lesser-known fact is how he slept in his car. It was late when a meeting ended, and another was beginning within hours. His swearing-in was without much fanfare. There were no police horses, dancing troupes, Jaya Mangala Gathas, red carpets, or honour guards. Those are truly the hallmarks of a people\u2019s president.<\/span><\/p>\n
