Former President Chandrika Kumaratunga on Sunday said she could not stay in the government if the Sri Lanka Freedom Party was trying to bring Gotabaya into power.

“We brought this government in order to wipe out the looting of the country. If the SLFP is trying to bring Goatabayas into power we cannot stay in the government any longer,” the former President said addressing an event in Attanagalle, where she distributed flood relief items to those who affected by the recent floods in the area.

She also said she was with her children abroad when the country had to face the flood situation. “I am here now to see what I can do for the affected people. I got a large number of telephone calls when I was abroad asking whether I was paralyzed. A website had carried a story saying I was paralyzed. Whoever the persons who carried the story should be asked whether I was paralyzed or not,” she added. (S.U.W.K.Jayawardane-Watupitiwala)

    who need you? who cares you? do you have anything to give ? you are a big joke? we don´t need ppl like you.

    NAK Tuesday, 07 June 2016 11:22 AM

    The LTTE missed three vital assaination attempts two of which now prove to be very costly to our country!

    nak Tuesday, 07 June 2016 11:16 AM

    which part of Angoda areyou from?

    Nagesh Tuesday, 07 June 2016 11:05 AM

    Do not worry Madam, Gota's no politician!

    Horri Jimonis Tuesday, 07 June 2016 11:05 AM

    Gotta deserves not No.1 or No.2, but the Black Defender.

    J Palitha Tuesday, 07 June 2016 11:04 AM

    We will hand-over Gotta to Hirunika, she will handle him in a tactful manner.

    Kiris Baba Amaray Tuesday, 07 June 2016 11:03 AM

    We invite you to be our Leader to SLFP no looters allowed, why MS is so lenient?

    wije Tuesday, 07 June 2016 10:27 AM

    don't be a wicked and unscrupulous politician. there is no SLFP without Mahinda.

    Vijith Pieterz Tuesday, 07 June 2016 10:26 AM

    If Gotta comes in, SLFP is no more and we (the whole nation) will never allow. Madam we want you to take over SLFP again as MS is weak and not steady.

    Kadupol Jothywansa Tuesday, 07 June 2016 10:24 AM

    Madam don't worry, before that Gotta will be lifted by a Black Defender.

    S B Lokuge Tuesday, 07 June 2016 04:52 AM

    This is the best news from Sri Lanka since Jan 8th 201 as she is looking after the interest of other Modi only. Chandirik may not be physically paralysed, but I am sure she is mentally paralysed. We really need Gota back in the government.

    Kadupol Jothywansa Tuesday, 07 June 2016 10:22 AM

    MS is not a fool, now John Seneveratne is under pins. Very soon he will be kicked off.

    Harry Tuesday, 07 June 2016 09:36 AM

    Looks everyone is worried with Diyawannawa entry other than doing something to the country, one election was over and immediately all of them plan with various strategies for the next. Do they really love the country or of their personal fortunes once elected! History reminder of Madam Sirimavo who appeared to the top post from the kitchen did much better than the current politicians. If not for her we would be importing our rice, chilies and most of the condiments, surprisingly such Sri Lankan commodities are now available in any country with a fair Sri Lankan population.

    Chandadasa Tuesday, 07 June 2016 09:30 AM

    "Pot saying Kettle Black"Now no UNP as well as SLFP, both parties combined to make "Yahapalana Party", so both parties wrong gone men or women must have to retire , leaving the country to the next generation. This country is not a property of Bandaranayaka`s, or Rajapaksa`s, both sucked the resources for their families in UK and USA. 100% of Srilankans are not uneducated citizens.

    Lala Tuesday, 07 June 2016 09:12 AM

    No doubt.

    Sharon Tuesday, 07 June 2016 09:07 AM

    Aiyo madam. You did 11 years of disaster and another 5 years from 8th Jan. Please....please.... go back to UK and not even sight our motherland....

    galleguy Tuesday, 07 June 2016 09:06 AM

    WHO CARES.

    Prem Tuesday, 07 June 2016 08:52 AM

    MS should understand who he should choose, party or people. If he chose party, he would lose every thing.

    BV Tuesday, 07 June 2016 08:39 AM

    IT WILL BE THE END OF THE SLFP.PEOPLE WILL NOT WANT DICTATORSHIP AGAIN. via DM Android App

    Don Tuesday, 07 June 2016 08:39 AM

    Do not worry. Gota will never hob nob with a "Queen of Thieves", by joining a bankrupt party like SLFP.

    janaka Tuesday, 07 June 2016 08:34 AM

    We admire your principles and your courage Madam we hail you as true leader unlike the useless fellows in the UPFa

    Nimal Edirisinghe Tuesday, 07 June 2016 08:02 AM

    We don't want you even in Sri Lanka let alone the Government given your unpatriotic nature to our motherland.

    Joe rajah Tuesday, 07 June 2016 05:05 AM

    Mrs chadrica i admire your courage

    Keerthi Wijebahu Tuesday, 07 June 2016 05:03 AM

    Are you in the govt? or with the govt? Just asking. You are now irrelevant (adala ne) in Sri Lankan politics, as good as paralyzed.

    v de mel Tuesday, 07 June 2016 04:59 AM

    you are absolutely right madam.we have always been your supporters. It is absurd to take him to the party
