    Waco Thursday, 19 February 2015 02:08 PM

    Leave is granted before availing on leave and not after.

    Waco Thursday, 19 February 2015 01:57 PM

    He should have been treated as having vacated the post .

    truthful Thursday, 19 February 2015 12:21 PM

    His fleeing itself is ample proof that he is guilty.

    Senator Thursday, 19 February 2015 09:46 AM

    Fleeing away.It shows that Basil has been the culprit for the the wrongs in the previous government.

    ralahamy Thursday, 19 February 2015 09:34 AM

    Basil does not need the parliament and the parliament does not need him. This is just a farce wasting Public money, you and I sweat to pay as tax.

    Why not kick him from Parliament? Basil is the only Rajapakse who did no good.

    3 months is probably sufficient time to take care of his illgotton wealth and turn his black money in to white .

    Sarana Wednesday, 18 February 2015 05:02 PM

    BuffaloaCitizen Wednesday, 18 February 2015 04:24 PM

    Looks like he is willing to come only if his beloved twisted brothers are in authority and power.

    T Wickramaratna Wednesday, 18 February 2015 04:15 PM

    willowsd Wednesday, 18 February 2015 04:13 PM

    by the end of his 3 months, it will be election time and he will not come again to SL for some time?

    chandra Wednesday, 18 February 2015 03:45 PM

    Even to get a leave from an ordinary office they need a valid reason. What are the reasons to grant leave?
