Prasanna Sunday, 08 May 2011 09:23 AM

Dont sell the religion for cheap political gains. The damage this people did for Buddhisam is more than enough.

SHAIF Sunday, 08 May 2011 09:15 AM

THEY HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN THIS FOR THE SIN AND THE CRIME THEY DID TO GEN SARATH FONSEKA .

Darwin Sunday, 08 May 2011 08:29 AM

A waste of time.

Yehiya-Doha Sunday, 08 May 2011 06:47 AM

They want to wash the sin of Gen. Fonseka.

YP Sunday, 08 May 2011 08:15 AM

Publicity stunt!

buddhist Sunday, 08 May 2011 08:26 AM

Do they really have to shave their heads? they aren't getting ordained, right?

S. Aran Johnny Sunday, 08 May 2011 08:21 AM

11 days? The Power and Energy Ministry will be without the Minister for 11 days. I hope there are reliable people to run the MInistry while the Hon. Minister is away contemplating on the various solutions to the power and energy issues the country faces.

Ideal hair cut. Suits well for the hot weather condition. Can some advertisement company sponsor them for a fashion parade.

Ronny Sunday, 08 May 2011 06:58 AM

Now Wimal seems to be beaten. If this is a private and personal thing done according to their conscience, then why do they allow publicity - cheap politics to mislead the gullible public.

Dinesh Sunday, 08 May 2011 06:59 AM

How proud i am to be a sinhala buddhist....
