Opinion
Why cry for Djokovic – a reply
I strongly object to the remark Dr Upul Wijayawardhana (Dr U W) made in the first paragraph of his Opinion, in The Island of Saturday 22 January, titled ’Why Cry for Djokovic?’ critiquing Cassandra in her Friday 21 Cassandra Cry.
Dr U W writes: “Cassandra uses her column liberally to criticise our politicians for giving special treatment to their kith and kin.” I, Cassandra, have two reasons to object to this damning statement. I have never criticised politicians for “giving special treatment to their kith and kin”. I have criticised politicians on various other issues such as what they have done, but not on this particular accusation. Hence Dr UW deliberately, or carried away by his writing eloquence, placed me in danger of reprisal. Such is not done.
Please read me in Cassandra Cry on Friday January 28, where this matter, and some others the doctor has written regards Cassandra will be refuted,
