Government MP Nimal Lanza who is now close to President Ranil Wickremesinghe said SLPP General Secretary MP Sagara Kariyawasam and MP Namal Rajapaksa remained mute like kittens under the Gotabaya Rajapaksa presidency but are barking like dogs now.

Lanza was responding to these two MPs over their criticism of the President assigning portfolios to MPs of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP).

Referring to the recent Cabinet reshuffle, MP Lanza said the President had amalgamated portfolios scientifically, adding that it was an effective decision.

“If Namal and Sagara dispute it, they should get their heads checked for any abnormality,” he said.

Lanza also dared Sagara Kariyawasam to resign from the government and make these statements instead of falsely claiming support to the President.

“I doubt whether Kariyawasam has guts to quit the Government as it could leave all of them in a desperate situation,” he added.

Lanza further said that Namal had remained quiet when his own uncle Gotabaya Rajapaksa had reshuffled the Cabinet four times but when President Wickremesinghe reshuffled some portfolios, Namal had come out with his ‘useless chandi talks’.

“Why did Namal never have the guts to question Gotabaya Rajapaksa? He and Sagara need to get their heads checked. They talk after destroying the country,” Lanza slammed.

MADALEE KACHAL? Seems like the political arena is turning into a "kitten and dog show" – one moment purring, the next barking.

What we know is one is a stray dog instrumental to downfall of GR and other is a underdog who licks everyone back side.

Lanza maybe they are consuming the products you smuggle into the country.

Mohan Thursday, 26 October 2023 07:25 PM

Don't they have anything useful to the country to talk about?

saman Thursday, 26 October 2023 07:37 PM

This is Lanza's show time. Mark my word, all of them will join hands and support Ranil when it comes to an election.

What is happening to the murder of Thajudeen. Can Namal voice his view whether the murder is justified?

Tony Thursday, 26 October 2023 08:27 PM

How did you behave in front of GR ? May be you forgot or on drugs. We all know you too behaved like a lady at the night .

Joshua Thursday, 26 October 2023 09:11 PM

Only the robbers are still with SLPP. If SLPP Abandones rajapakshes it would be a better party. As long as they hang on to rajapakshe sarong we reject them

Anura Kumara Rajapaksa Thursday, 26 October 2023 09:41 PM

This is correct. Keheliya has been a total failure. The replaced minister Dr. Ramesh Pathirana is a medical doctor. Namal Baby has no right to demand the vacated slot for his party. The country needs performers or at least non-corrupt people

Nimal, do not compare these two with innocent Kittens. There are too many home animals that people compare them!

Anyone who SINCERELY LOVES our country will NOT steal public wealth and destroy the country. Fmr Late President RANASIGHE PREMADASA truly loved poor people and worked towards uplifting the life of poor people.

It is Lanza who must get checked with a Psychiatrist, as right now remains in power under the Rajapaksa regime Ranil holds the Presidency, Namal remained silent when the US CONSPIRACY ousted Gotabaya of Ranil's inducement ARAGALAYA with the support of the US. Thus, everyone was unable to voice against the US plot when the US was involved in CONSPIRACY, and that is what happened, not only, to Namal but also to other active politicians in the country. Well, under the US command right now the northern part of Sri Lanka i.e. JAFFNA became one of the states of INDIA, where "Vanthey Maatharam"
