SLFP MP Reginald Cooray said President Maithripala Sirisena had given a date to meet former President Mahinda Rajapaksa to resolve differences between them.

Speaking at the SLFP May Day rally at Hyde Park, Mr. Cooray said the marriage between Maithri and Mahinda will be a success. 
“We are not slaves of the UNP. The Next May Day will be celebrated under a SLFP government,” he said.

SLFP MP Mahindananda Aluthgamage said it was a joke for the UNP which removed SLFP appointees from government institutions to celebrate May Day.

“We should use this May Day rally as a turning point to form a SLFP government at the next election under the leadership of President Maithripala Sirisena and the support of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa,” he said.(Lahiru Pothmulla)

    Lanka Watch Saturday, 02 May 2015 06:09 AM

    Can some bright spark in the ruling SLFP come out and inform the public as to why is the mighty hurry for the President to meet the former president as both do not see eye on current policies. Is this a threat to UNP or the fright of the President .over the coming elections

    Alan Saturday, 02 May 2015 05:51 AM

    Mr.President.The best combination would be to work with te UNP.You must have a plan to do so.

    S.Sriranjan Saturday, 02 May 2015 05:15 AM

    Only the former Hon Executive President Mahinda Rajapaksha had the experience of holding Excutive Presidency Twice and burnt his Image by some of the corupted Ministers is suitable to advise Hon President Maitreepala Sirisena! God Bless the Meeting for the better Governance of Srilanka!!

Yes MR. and his cronies made some terrible mistakes but someone who uses any religion will pay a price you cant use GOD for your benefit then discard GOD .

    MR is not wanting to meet the President to convey his good wishes! He expects to PROFIT by the meeting. It is said that MR"s public relations oozes good will. Trust that this charm does not deceive the President into agreeing to his requests at the expense of the NATION.

    Mr President,you dealing with fire,please call this unwanted meeting off,he will persuade for you to drop his corrupt charges, Aluthgamage is seasoned corrupt politician ruined the sports ministry , you will do unimaginable damage to the Presidency and and the priminister, sir do get into this muddle, beleive me

    halmassa Friday, 01 May 2015 05:53 PM

    What for ?

    Bala Friday, 01 May 2015 05:48 PM

    RW was not selfappointed but was appointed by MS. The Executive power is still with MS so no executive pm for MR. You are wrong twice.

    Sethsiri Friday, 01 May 2015 06:32 PM

    Appointing RW was election promise and the executive is still the president

    Hiran Gunawardena Friday, 01 May 2015 05:46 PM

    I can see why lot of UNP supporters trying to object MR coming back. Cos when he back again RW will be forever opposition leader, it will be world record. UNP PR machine is in full swing to stop MR. This is getting hilarious

    Citizen Somadasa Friday, 01 May 2015 05:36 PM

    Party which ever if the man concern has robbed it is the poor mans money . Commissions paid gets added to the contracted price.Then you keeping on increasing the prices of all items.Politicians have five star luxuary.

    simon Friday, 01 May 2015 05:07 PM

    MR should retire and let the new govt do their job without any interference because he had his time to serve and now it is MS time to serve the country !

    SLFP appointees were yes-men and rogues. Good they ere removed - after all astrologer Sunanadasa was a National Savings Bank director.

    This is the best which can happen to SLFP and to the country. If not chances for UNP with Ranil is not a dream. Therefore for the sake of the people lets hope sanity to prevail.

    Abayatilaka Friday, 01 May 2015 08:45 PM

    Mr. President do not agree for this meeting. Please look around and see who the people around you. They did not vote for you. We did. They who insulted you with every possible way that they could. Please call off the meeting. Give MR time to make him an ordinary person. Definitely not a former King.

    Park Friday, 01 May 2015 08:40 PM

    Mahinda who is now a civilian refused to meet President Sirisena after confirming the appointment cancelled it last time. Hence President Sirisena should keep his respect and not meet the civilian Mahinda.

    Regi Friday, 01 May 2015 08:27 PM

    some of these fellows are still thinking of an Executive Prime Minister. You are wrong the parliament is the supreme power not the premier. Further, still they want MR and his cronies to come back to power and rob the monies belonging to the State. What a shame.

    saman Friday, 01 May 2015 04:47 PM

    Priority number one is get rid of self appointed so called but fake executive prime minister RW. Once our puppet president devolves his powers MR can be the real executive Premier after the election with an absolute majority. All MR has to say to MS is, "who is your daddy now!!

    Desapriya Friday, 01 May 2015 07:59 PM

    These were slaves of corrupt Rajpakse, still they want to be slaves and their mindset is not relieved from slavery. Whatever these rouge utter President Maithreepala Sirisena is elected from opposition votes, mostly UNP and not a single SLFP vote casted for Maithree. Maithree plus everybody must remember that truth.

    Mason Friday, 01 May 2015 07:29 PM

    Let not anyone forget that if not for the UNP MR would still be president. The newly found supporters of SLFP were pinning that MR was unshakable. The tables have turned.Watch out, MR is planning something unholy and by hook or crook get to a position of power in the government.

    Ravi Friday, 01 May 2015 07:28 PM

    What an idiotic statement. One is going to prison and the other is going to go into history books as the one who brought justice to all.
