The saying goes that the world has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests. This applies to politics as well. Seen here is UPFA Minister Susil Premajayantha, a stalwart of the government seated next to former President Mahinda Rajapaksa and sharing a moment at the funeral of Ven. Daranagama Kusaladhamma Thera in Colombo yesterday. Minister Premajayantha sparked a controversy after he met Mr. Rajapaksa following the latter’s Local Government poll victory last month.
