Former MP Nalinda Jayatissa questioned the rationale behind MP Mahindananda Aluthgamage visiting the United States, accompanying President Ranil Wickremesinghe on official duty.

"Mahindananda Aluthgamage was the one who said that he cannot sleep until Ranil is imprisoned for the Central Bank bond scam. Perhaps he was taken to the US because he was unable to sleep," Jayatissa said.

"Although the Opposition seems to be against the government, the real deal is now apparent. Not just Mahindananda, even Rohitha was in the US with Ranil, wearing a suit," Jayatissa said referring to MP Rohitha Abeygunawardena.

Jayatissa charged that these MPs state in public that they hold different views from the President, although they are now seen engaged in foreign tours with the President. He predicted that a number of opposition parties including the Sri Lanka Freedom Party of former President Maithripala Sirisena and Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa’s affiliates will soon join the President.

“It will only make things easier for us, as we will only side with the people,” he added.

Why can’t the most qualified professors of our parliament go? One has doctorate in fertilizer and other has diploma in gold chain… So why are you questioning rationale behind their visit?

It's part of the parliamentary tradition which has been exercised for U.N.GA since Independence.

When they come back they will bring much Duty Free Monday, 25 September 2023 05:42 PM

The MPs and assistants will bring massive haul of Duty Free when they come back. They want free travel overseas, along with much dollars as travel allowance. It is all a scam.

What is Mahindananda's role here? He is one of those who ruined the lives of the farmers by dancing to the tune of Gota's baila. Shamelessly the President takes him along. C'mon people, we need to get rid of the whole lot.

This is what happens when you give a string of flowers to a monkey and a wrong person is made president.

Unelected master debating president always accompanied with man who can turn him on at the UN. Unelected president always turned his back to MPS before he master debate in front of the other leaders
