President Maithripala Sirisena said yesterday that the Bandaranaike family did everything for the country without corruption and fraud.

The president was speaking at a function to mark the 70th birthday of former president Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga. He said democracy was upheld during the term of Mrs. Kumaratunga, and everybody was consulted when taking decisions. “She was humble enough to correct her mistakes whenever they were pointed out,” he said.

Better get second opinion from Baddegana Sanjeewa, Nihal Karunarathna, Rohana Kumara, Rookantha and Anoja and some people from Wayamba province as well.

Like hell! What nonsense are you talking Sirisena? Either you have been dumb or blind. This woman was as corrupt as any other politician that led the country since Dudley Senanayake era. Don’t you forget what she did with Air Lanka and many public corporations. You are just yapping bull s**t.

Well; all could be true but she made a blunder by giving presidential candidacy to the rogue.

President Sir, We are losing confidence in you day by day. First How was CBK humble and not corrupt?? Second, We voted MR out to get rid of him and you are thinking of your party and not the country. Only alternative now is the UNP.

And she tried to offer 1/3 rd of the country to armed separatists. I guess that is democracy

Sirisena is playing both sides: whilst praising the Bandaranayakes, giving into the threats by crooks like Mahinda and his gang of four.
