Taking a swipe at his Cabinet colleague, Sports Minister Dayasiri Jayasekera challenged Minister Arjuna to vacate the Cabinet position he holds if he has any decency, without meddling in his ministry.

Minister Jayasekera made this remark when addressing the media at the Sports Ministry yesterday. This was in reply to a question raised by a journalist.

He said further that if Arjuna is not happy with what is happening at Sri Lanka Cricket he should take it over and change it. He said he was more than happy to let him have it.

He pointed out that as a minister Arjuna had been an utter failure and that he had first ruined the Ports Ministry and now he was busy destroying the Petroleum Corporation. (Namal Pathirage)

    Both of them ruin any Ministry they are given.

    Arjuna should look after his ministry without interfering in others. Think Ranatunga family has some similarities with Rajapaksha family i.e. corruption, hunger for power, trying to get involved in everything etc etc.

    Arjuna is inefficient but never corrupt. Cricket is under very corrupt administration.

    Arjuna R. is the Captain who led our country to a World cup victory. Don't ever forget that cz of dirty politics.We are such an ungrateful nation and its high time we stop being that.

    Well, am no fan of Arjuna the politician!! However, over one billion people know about the world Cup winning SL cricket captain!! Then the whole world knows, you could Buy Dayasiri and his loyalty for Money!!!!

    Arjuna has done a lot to this country by winning the world cup and brought a lot of credit to our mother land. I would like ask Dayasiri what has he done to this country ? only thing what i can see that he is destroying our cricket and other sports as well.

    Arjuna corruption was exposed with the furniture he made at Ports Ministry and also engaging his brother Dhammika who has no qualifications as Chairman Petroleum
