While charging that President Mahinda Rajapaksa was leading the country towards a corrupt and authoritarian state, veteran film Director Somarathna Dissanayake said that he would support common opposition candidate Maithripala Sirisena at the upcoming Presidential Election for a country free of corruption.

He charged the incumbent President was deceiving the people through the term given to him in 2010 and the powers vested in the Executive Presidency.

“People voted for President Rajapaksa to show their gratitude for defeating terrorism. However, the corruption, thievery and lawlessness had increased since the second term of office of the President,” he said. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

Just bcos mr.hakeem is a muslim doesnt mean that he doesnt care about other races or the party. Infact he is one of the very few gentlemen left today in sri lankan politics. Ranil will never make decisions that will harm the party, and has always kept it away from the grasp of those who wants to split it
