Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa today said the reply to the speech made by President Maithripala Sirisena yesterday would be given on July 17 in Anuradhapura.

Mr. Rajapaksa made these remarks when he arrived at the SLFP head office to take part at the UPFA party leaders meeting a short while ago.

President Sirisena yesterday made a special speech in which he said he was against giving nomination to former President Mahinda Rajapaksa to contest at the general elections.

He said he would not appoint Mr. Rajapaksa as the Prime Minister and that Rajapaksa would be defeated again. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

Priyalal Peiris Wednesday, 15 July 2015 03:46 PM

Rajapaksha should be sent home because of his filth and arrogance to his own ministers and MP,s and the way he wasted peoples money for his election in January 2015. What I feel he is power hungry .Sorry to say I dont know why My3 gave him nominations.

Empty can makes the noise.

Adey Ahmed, Still u need MR to corrupt this country....

kukula. Wednesday, 15 July 2015 03:26 PM

Mr be humble when you are threatened and cornered. Instead of employing tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye policy.

Mokkan Wednesday, 15 July 2015 03:23 PM

I am poor in maths but could not understand you calculation logic. Yes you got 5.2m votes but at national level. So did Sarath in 2010 with 4.2m. But in the General Election that followed, he was the only person won a seat in his party. Why and what happened to those 4.2m voters? They voted him and did not vote his party candidates. So out of those 5.2m, Kurunagala district might select you but not all will vote your cronies.

thanha jayathi soko is what MR will learn after election

THE CITIZENS OF SRI LANKA DO NOT WANT TO RETURN TO DICTATORSHIP AND MURDER AGAIN. THE VERDICT WAS GIVEN ON 8TH JANUARY 2015 AND WILL BE REPEATED AGAIN...... BUT THIS TIME MORE DRASTIC BECAUSE THE CRIMINAL MAHINDA RAJAPAKSE WILL BE DEFEATED FOREVER. WE DO NOT WANT DRUG PEDDLARS, MURDERERS, PROSTITUTION PROMOTERS IN POWER.

The people will give MS a reply by only electing MR loyalists from the UPFA

de silva Wednesday, 15 July 2015 02:11 PM

Of course you will be sent home for the second time.

Dee Wednesday, 15 July 2015 02:40 PM

Mara, go home. nobody cares about you anymore

Man Wednesday, 15 July 2015 02:39 PM

Mahinda cannot deny the facts mentioned by Mr. Maithreepala. That is why he wants to pass the election.

Rohan Wednesday, 15 July 2015 02:35 PM

MR is the least educated and most corrupt in the world for a President. If someone votes for his that means the voter is either ignorant fool or has been mislead with facts.

Dalu Banda Wednesday, 15 July 2015 02:35 PM

Thanks MS, Stock Market went up by 57 points

ahamed Wednesday, 15 July 2015 02:34 PM

Ranil was sent home for 29 times

BuffaloaCitizen Wednesday, 15 July 2015 02:30 PM

A thousand replies to Sirisena or arrogant remarks to the international community or harassment of your own citizens or arrogant thuggery or manipulating the law with impunity or first class nepotism or high level corruption that you will always practice. The reply to them can only be given to you from the Citizens of this country for which the time is not too long away.

Ahamed Wednesday, 15 July 2015 02:30 PM

MS is the fish came out of water

The God Father Wednesday, 15 July 2015 02:27 PM

God wants to ridicule and humiliate MR.

upali Wednesday, 15 July 2015 02:26 PM

President made suicide speech giving room to MR who is having substantial public support.

lkboy Wednesday, 15 July 2015 02:23 PM

Ha ha spot on.

Kas Wednesday, 15 July 2015 02:18 PM

MR is like a fish came out from water. He is crazy without power and does everything to get old luxury again. Think again before feeding hungry tiger.

Siva Wednesday, 15 July 2015 02:13 PM

He never asked any question to reply ! He just told the truth.
