It is good to see the President has raked and selected a national banian of the Mahajana Peramuna – Vijaya K umaratunga era to be very conspicuous at the old lady’s b’party. However it is regrettable to note that he has forgotten his past as to relegate the fact that Mrs,Sirimavo Bandaranaika was unceremoniously kicked out of the Parliament and her civic rights denied for five years for CORRUPTION by JR of whose Cabinet Ranil was a very prominent Minister. Was Ranil hiding his face when the president made these remarks is not sure . Mr. President Sir, do you not consider the good old lady Sirrimavo a member of the Bandaranaika family?
Only the wealth written into her childrens name in the UK would show how corrupt Chandrika was. Mr. President, did you consult Ranil before making these statements.
