Cheap publicity. But it works well for the "intellgent" voters.

He is not the man we expected. He is not strong enough. If he accepts this he will probably betray UNP identity. Rev Sobitha himself must come forward.

With support from all parties , Chandrika and Ratnasiri W backing him he can easily take away one lakh votes from MR in Gampaha and Kalutara. Then it will be Kaput for MR !!

If Karu is contesting from UNP government decided to put Paba, because once she defeated Karu in Gampaha. MR is too strong for him instead he can rest.

whilst facing international pressure he should have a back-bone to build up the image of the country with other nations and where do we stand in terms of relationship with the west? This where the issue is with Sri Lankans. If somebody talks big he will be the person with back-bone. Look at the bigger picture and in the long run where do we going? shame on you brother. please correct your thinking.

International pressure is exerted by UN and other Govts when a Govt is run undemocratically, as in the case of Sri Lanka.

He is a world best Hypocrite. Do not trust "EKADIPATHI VIARUWA" He is the guy who appoint former Chairman of one of commercial bank of government control to get his own judgement through so called "AGA VINISURO".

From one side hypocritical golden words come out but from the other side it is loose motion due to fear and seeing white flags and funeral pyres.
