Mervyn Silva who was recently stripped of his deputy ministerial position has now undertaken the role of a good samaritan by visiting the displaced people in Jaffna today to hand over gifts

The parliamentarian over the last couple of days also sponsored painting several Bhuddist temples in the country with the participation of some government members, according to his media spokesperson.

Silva who is currently on a tour in Jaffna visited the Ramavil IDP center today and distributed books to school children.

He is expected tomorrow to sponsor painting the Kelaniya Temple in an attempt to continue ‘working for his people’. (Daily Mirror online)

Being himself an IDP now, it is a case of "Birds of a feather flock together". Whatever, he is in the limelight to get the sympathy of the people, so his reappointment by MR becomes a welcome affair.

During the war, he was hiding in the South. Now after much sacrifices were made by the war heroes, he is going there like a cardboard hero.

J Dan Monday, 23 August 2010 09:34 AM

What else can he do? Powerless in South, may be trying to get the sympathy of the IDP 's and build up a vote base

Chris Monday, 23 August 2010 11:31 AM

iqbal Monday, 23 August 2010 11:09 AM
