President Maithripala Sirisena said yesterday that the Bandaranaike family did everything for the country without corruption and fraud. 

The president was speaking at a function to mark the 70th birthday of former president Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga. He said democracy was upheld during the term of Mrs. Kumaratunga, and everybody was consulted when taking decisions. “She was humble enough to correct her mistakes whenever they were pointed out,” he said.

    Agreed but what are you doing giving nominations to the biggest crook who manipulated even the judiciary.

    Better get second opinion from Baddegana Sanjeewa, Nihal Karunarathna, Rohana Kumara, Rookantha and Anoja and some people from Wayamba province as well.

    Like hell! What nonsense are you talking Sirisena? Either you have been dumb or blind. This woman was as corrupt as any other politician that led the country since Dudley Senanayake era. Don’t you forget what she did with Air Lanka and many public corporations. You are just yapping bull s**t.

    Well; all could be true but she made a blunder by giving presidential candidacy to the rogue.

    President Sir, We are losing confidence in you day by day. First How was CBK humble and not corrupt?? Second, We voted MR out to get rid of him and you are thinking of your party and not the country. Only alternative now is the UNP.

    Ranga Monday, 06 July 2015 09:50 AM

    Hmm did UNP lie about her then? We remember completely the opposite from UNP

    Ranji Monday, 06 July 2015 09:51 AM

    And she tried to offer 1/3 rd of the country to armed separatists. I guess that is democracy

    Sorinis Monday, 06 July 2015 09:59 AM

    There was definitely no Democracy under any of the Bandaranaikes.

    AR Monday, 06 July 2015 10:21 AM

    Ha ha this is very true

    MSR Monday, 06 July 2015 12:00 PM

    She never learnt to be punctual. Always late!

    Waco Monday, 06 July 2015 12:53 PM

    Civic Rights were suspended.

    ROBERT Monday, 06 July 2015 02:02 PM

    And the country was "Always break down" under her regime.

    Calistus Jayatilleke Monday, 06 July 2015 03:59 PM

    Sirisena is playing both sides: whilst praising the Bandaranayakes, giving into the threats by crooks like Mahinda and his gang of four.

    cham Monday, 06 July 2015 06:19 PM

    President has become a stand up comedian now.

    DON Tuesday, 07 July 2015 02:42 PM

    8th OF JANUARY IS HER FARTHER S BIRTHDAY.THAT S DAY HER SUPPORT TO DEFEAT S.L.F.P.
