Former Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa referring to a photograph of his that went viral on social media with a quote from Lee Kwan Yew said he was unaware of such an incident and that anybody can do such mischievous things on social media.

“If people can quote Lord Buddha, why can’t people quote Lee Kwan Yew? They also should be quoted right? In fact I’m not aware of such a thing and please ask about this from those who did it.”

When asked if he was going to join the Bodhu Bala Sena party he said that it was also a lie. “See, that is also a lie that someone has told. We hear about thieves everywhere and likewise we hear lies from everywhere (Horu horu horu wage boru boru boru)”. (Kamanthi Wickramasinghe)

This is what every power-greedy politician does. Do something secretly and when leaked, deny or denounce it!

He is not a politician.He did a v.good job during the war and giving a facelift to Colombo. Re- alleged bad things he had done - Courts to decide.

THIS BUGGER GOTA DESERVES TO BE INSIDE FOR HIS LIFETIME FOR THE DAMAGE HE DID TO COUNTRY AND TO THE PEOPLE OF SRI LANKA

Only a LTTE Terrorist can say this

Bamunu Tuesday, 12 May 2015 04:43 PM

Look at what he did to the country but not what he said.

Bamunu Tuesday, 12 May 2015 04:46 PM

If not for this bugger you buggers are sill under Tamil terrorism. Are you bugger talking from your mouth or some where else.

Bamunu Tuesday, 12 May 2015 04:59 PM

Gota we need more brave people like you to this country. We have seen what you have done to this country. Earlier Colombo was worse than Chennai. Now some parts of Colombo city looks like part of an European city. Anybody going to Torinton Arcade will feel that he is in an European city despite of Appa price. .May Noble Triple Gem bless you.

Thank You Sir. You saved Sri Lanka from the brutal Terrorists. Yes, Colombo was one of the cleanest cities in the World. Soon, it will be the opposite. Thank You Sir once again.
