Did Bandula tell the General how to live with Rs: 2,500/- since he has no pension or a job but has to depend on his children's earnings

Labby Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:09 AM

This is called 'Playing to the gallery'

Countryman Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:08 AM

Sarath Fonseka seems to be on the right track. He has to give up all army attitude and enter in interacting with politicians with cordiality and win the heart of the people. In his earlier time of politics he may have been fallen pray to some cunning politicians and parties. If he realize this and build up his own identity to disseminate his policies he can be a successful man
in the political arena.

What positive you see here. Did they say a single word agaisnt the regime when the Gen. was taken away forcefully, after the infamouse gilmart win.

Imran Hussein Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:16 AM

Probably MR himself must have sent these two stoogies to feel the pulse of SF, or they here to say that the devil is not that black as you think.

gamaya Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:13 AM

Rev. Sobith Thero...We heard what you said yesterday..we are really fortunate to have a thero like you in this land...api sawoma pavitu dudanangen mudawaganna obata siyalu shakthiya labewa...

buffaloa citizen Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:21 AM

You are absolutely right...SF should not sit nor even look at the face of these dirty cowards.

CITIZEN Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:39 AM

Bandula is advising SF to mange with Rs.7,500 ,since SF has no pension now.

malkanthi Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:41 AM

This is politics! None practice what they preach so why take them seriously??

dingimahattaya Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:43 AM

Dinesh & Bandula will be axe.

Dingi

hikz Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:49 AM

jack of 'ina beheth' until that sword chases back to the wall !!!

malkanthi Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:55 AM

Actually you must question Ven Maduluwawe Sobhitha Thera ments for making such seating arrangements. Poor fellows no option.

buffaloa citizen Wednesday, 30 May 2012 06:00 AM

Bandula and Dinesh are dirty soup drinkers of MR. They even did not have the simple courage to visit SF at least once in jail as appreciation for winning the war. Dirty shameless cowards.

shan Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:05 AM

they speak bad of SF now they give their best smile to him

NANDA Wednesday, 30 May 2012 06:16 AM

Kade yanawata thamuseta keeyak gevanawada?

sangakkra Wednesday, 30 May 2012 06:27 AM

To All. When ever these ministers got the opportunity to talk about the General, the had to condemn him or else be CONDEMNED.

Ram Wednesday, 30 May 2012 06:31 AM

absolutely corrected

Amila.G Wednesday, 30 May 2012 06:33 AM

Any one who saluted SF was on the mat , Await for a re shuffle.

Amila.G Wednesday, 30 May 2012 06:35 AM

These two must be knowing whats going on ,That `s why they are quite open .

Sriminnal Wednesday, 30 May 2012 06:39 AM

President will get very upset with these photographs. May be Dinesh is insterested in joinig SF's new party. Who knows. Time will tell.

Pandula Wednesday, 30 May 2012 06:47 AM

There is no long term enimies or long term friends in political arena.Every body should understand this. Therefore, people
should understand that & not to go behind or make comments favouring them.

jeevan Wednesday, 30 May 2012 07:21 AM

this is what call.. all politics

Ghouse Wednesday, 30 May 2012 08:22 AM

There are no permanent enemy nor permanent friends in POLITICS.

Sanath R Wednesday, 30 May 2012 09:53 AM

General has to be very smart when he has to associate with such people.

ooz Wednesday, 30 May 2012 09:56 AM

By the way, How many birthdays the Buddha celebrated like this

ase Wednesday, 30 May 2012 04:23 AM

no good fellowes to accompany to steal hourses, be aware jenaral, they only do ram a knife at your back, coverd,back boneless, money greedy bunch of no goods.

Ram Perera Tuesday, 29 May 2012 09:08 PM

spineless ministers who failed to speakout when SF was jailed, what are they saying now? Disgrace
Ram

Mi Tuesday, 29 May 2012 09:16 PM

Dammika Wednesday, 30 May 2012 03:07 AM

Hirunika it is time to joine Gen. SF

Minister Wednesday, 30 May 2012 03:36 AM

After castigating SF all this time they have the capability to smile like as if nothing has happened... Spineless Politicians!!!!

Mahi Wednesday, 30 May 2012 03:40 AM

You are absolutly right. Shame on you Ministers! Shame, shame, shame.........

Black Mamba Wednesday, 30 May 2012 03:43 AM

Ram, oyage kate masuran danna watinawa!They are all bloody parasites.

Manik Wednesday, 30 May 2012 03:50 AM

How many of these UPFA or even SLFP politicianc had the courage to say hello to Gen Fonseka when he was in jail?

hyden Wednesday, 30 May 2012 03:53 AM

bandula says hello sir when u come to power pls dont take revenge against me.

Lal.Fernando. Wednesday, 30 May 2012 04:01 AM

Bandula and Dinesh atleast you showed humanity.I congradulate both of you , for being humans. General Fonseka is a human, who saved this Island Paradise Sri Lanka.

ahamed Wednesday, 30 May 2012 04:04 AM

are they ministers today? or sacked yessterday? please check with your Secretaries now.

The God Father Wednesday, 30 May 2012 04:08 AM

Very soon you guys will see SF is chatting with MR and Bros, this is SL Politics.

ana Wednesday, 30 May 2012 04:22 AM

Better to back both horses....simple economics.

ballo Tuesday, 29 May 2012 08:25 PM

GOTA AND MR WONT LIKE THAT DINESH

Fusion Wednesday, 30 May 2012 04:34 AM

If they did they'll be in Jail or worse. SF was tough enough to survive his incarceration probably because of his Military background. Don't expect that from others. There is a lot descent among seniors MPs but if they go public they will be torn to pieces.

Baila Maila Wednesday, 30 May 2012 04:42 AM

Ballo, kata wahapang kollo. MR is an ace at PR and strategy and he would like this very much.

Baila Maila Wednesday, 30 May 2012 04:43 AM

Come on Ram. Why do you make negative remarks when you see something positive ? Wassath weradi, pawwath weradi !

BlindSide Wednesday, 30 May 2012 04:44 AM

Better keep of these parasites.

BlindSide Wednesday, 30 May 2012 04:48 AM

Dear Sri, you are a man of principal and stick to them. Keep off these parasites that change their principals at the drop of a pin for their personal gain.

Lankan Lad Wednesday, 30 May 2012 04:53 AM

May be Bandula is saying to SF, he can live with SR. 7,500.00 a month/

Branu Wednesday, 30 May 2012 04:52 AM

This is call politics, but poor sri lankan are still addicted for those culprits

Devaka Wednesday, 30 May 2012 04:58 AM

SF will have learnt how to live on Rs 7,500 a month.

Responsible Wicky Wednesday, 30 May 2012 04:59 AM

Both the Gunewardenas biggest humbugs in the cabinet

Sagara Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:02 AM

Great piece of writing. Indeed these people are real hypocrites. All of us remember what and what things that were uttered by this Chip whip of the Govt. party in the House against the General when he was inside the jail. We voters are fools.

lal Wednesday, 30 May 2012 05:02 AM

looks both Minsters are shame to talk because they haven't visited General SF at Prison or hospital.The image of the faces expose that.
