They are all moderates and they have done their country proud by their presence. Their objective participation in COPF shows us about their interest in the Government’s efforts to put this country right.

Of course, they can start working on bringing Uganda money which NPP said they would do. May be Dilkushani could lead the Team along with Kottacahhi.

Sajith was not seen at these ceremonies during the past two years. He is also silent in parliament now, compared to his hand-waiving behaviour in parliament when RW was the president.

Sri Lankans tend to forget past leaders Tuesday, 04 February 2025 05:17 PM

After the complete washout at the last election, some them are afraid that their faces will be forgotten by the voting masses. They know through past experience that voters of this tiny nation have short memory when it comes elections. Ask some of the past leaders who just vanished from the stage, after losing election.

That was a very good gesture in uniting and attending the countries biggest celebration. This should be the attitude of the politicians.

Why do they ignore the wives/ partners ? Even the president was not accompanied by his wife.This goes against natural respect to the nation. This is a function with foreign dignitaries. Not a political meeting
