Is his animus mere sham?

The Blue party’s secretarial one has now begun taking swipes at Pohottuwa.

The secretarial one’s anger is said to be a reaction to his party boss being summoned to give evidence before the Commission probing into the Easter Sunday carnage subjecting him to much inconvenience and embarrassment, they say. 

However, former Number One’s intimates like the ones from Anuradhapura, Hambantota and Mahara are said to be averse to criticizing Pohottuwa having taken up the position that the big ones must be allowed to settle their differences by themselves, and there is no need for the small ones to poke their nose into their affairs. They also add that attacking Pohottuwa would only send their Lokka deeper into trouble. 

Meanwhile, another rumour doing rounds says that the secretarial one is only making noise to make his presence felt and he is angling for a portfolio at the top team level which his boss had earlier declined to accept.
