Former President Chandrika Kumaratunga who attended the meeting of the Kurunegala District SLFP Balamandalaya this morning at the Kurunegala Maliyadewa Girls’ School auditorium came under hooting and jeering of the crowd.

They scorned the former president with harsh and rude language. The meeting was held under the chairmanship of President Maithripala Sirisena.

The crowd began hooting when ex-president Kumaratunga was invited to light the traditional oil lamp to inaugurate the meeting. The meeting lasted about three hours and when she came out to leave several SLFP Provincial Council Members and Pradeshiya Sabha Members levelled criticism against her.

“Our real leader is former President Mahinda Rajapaksa. You should refrain from criticizing him wherever you go and ruining the SLFP. You must now retire from politics and mind your own business,” they shouted.

Meanwhile some individuals even hurled criticism at her in abusive language.

However, the former President who did not show any response to the allegations was taken away from the scene by her security staff.

Meanwhile a member of the Nikaweratiya Pradeshiya Sabha who attempted to defend the former president was assaulted by a group of local politicians representing the SLFP.

Addressing the meeting President Maithripala Sirisena and SLFP General Secretary Anura Priyadarshana Yapa stressed the need to lead the party to victory with concerted effort of all those concerned.

It was of significance that they refrained from making any comments on activities of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa or the meetings organised by a group led by former Minister Wimal Weerawansa.

However, when North Western Province Chief Minister Dayasiri Jayasekara stressed the need to muster the support of former President Mahinda Rajapakesa to take the SLFP towards a victorious path, the crowd responded with loud applause and cheers.

Kurunegala District Parliamentarian Salinda Dissanayake, T.B.Ekanayake, former Minister Johnston Fernando and several provincial council members and Pradeshiya Sabha members in the district were present at the occasion. (Pusphakumara Jayaratne)

Chandrika Bandaranaike is neither an elected person nor recognized as a part of the government. She was retired by law. She talks of bribery and corruotion of Mahinda Rajapsa as it was she who appointed Rajapsa as thePrime minister that assured of Rajapksa Presideny under a SLFP Government. She also made lots of money from tender agents. May I ask how she as a Sri Lankan bought her large home in England?

Free liquor showing the spirit!!!

We Sinhalese tend to support or provide tacit support to criminality, racism and dishonesty. That is also why we created such leaders as Mervyn, Weerawansa, Dinesh, Patali, Mahinda, Basil, Duminda, Johnston and many more. We Sinhalese fail to recognize leaders who have never robbed the country, protected the respect of Sinhalese internationally and thereby the country and respected all citizens of any denomination (race, religion, culture).

You must be an escaped LTTE member, to have such a hatred towards MR and family.

She should be in jail for collaborating with separatists.

MR is a curse to the country. Kill the whole family and leave the country a few years. You can witness the rapid growth in multiple sectors.

THOSE WHO DO THE BOOING ARE THE ONES WHO ASSISSTED IN THE WHITE VAN ERA AND THE DISAPPEARANCES AND MURDERS WHICH WAS SPONSORED BY THE RAJAPAKSE REGIME AND HIS GANG OF DRUG PEDDLARS AND CRIMINALS. WE ARE WITH YOU MADAM CHANDRIKA. GOD BLESS YOU AND PRESIDENT MAITHRIPALA SIRISENA.

People remember the way she conducted the famous Wayamba PC election when she was in power. This "French Intellectual" has met her Waterloo today.
