Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa quipped yesterday that in the reshuffle of the Cabinet, the only Ministry that underwent a scientific transformation was the Wildlife Ministry.

He said further that the Wildlife Ministry had undergone a biological transformation with which and sensing the arrival of the new Minister the Deer and Sambhur living in the jungles had started to flee.

Mahinda Rajapaksa made this remark in reply to a question posed by a journalist at a religious function held at the Abayaramaya temple in Narahenpita yesterday.

The subject of Wildlife was given to Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka along with the subjects of Sustainable development and Regional Development at the Yesterday's Cabinet reshuffle. (Nalaka Sanjeewa Dahanayake)

    Can you honestly tell us that you did not object to Sarath Fonseka being appointed as the Minister in charge of law and order.

    ALL THE POLITICIANS GOES TO TEMPLES N TALK RUBBISH

    Adhil Mansoor Wednesday, 02 May 2018 01:31 PM

    God bless you mahinda. If SF was given law and order not the deer's would flee but the rajapaksha and the 40 thieves would have

    SL Wednesday, 02 May 2018 01:40 PM

    Too bad. Even Prez or PM is scared of SF.

    lion Wednesday, 02 May 2018 01:41 PM

    then the tigers were sent to their cages,now the elephants will be sent to the jungles

    Ravi Wednesday, 02 May 2018 01:45 PM

    Mr MR be careful, SF is given the correct ministry to catch animals like you.

    Ronnie Bugger Wednesday, 02 May 2018 01:54 PM

    Unfortunately, the man this man is referring to has been given the wrong job. Had he been given the portfolio for which he is most suitable, all the wild animals in the Jokers' Organization (JO) including this man will have no place to hide.

    Ceylon Wednesday, 02 May 2018 02:21 PM

    You also a wild animal.look at your history.exam cheating,roberies,killings,crimes,whats not on your record???.

    Lion Wednesday, 02 May 2018 02:44 PM

    Boy you would have run for your life if Sf has got hold of the ministry of law and order.

    kukula Wednesday, 02 May 2018 02:56 PM

    The king of the Buffaloes herd. The former and his calf's.

    S.P.RAMKUMAR Wednesday, 02 May 2018 05:43 PM

    HE WAS A BEST ARMY COMMANDER, NOW HE WILL SAFEGUARD ELEPHANTS, ANIMALS LIVING IN FOREST. THROUGH THIS EXPERIENCE HE WILL BE GIVEN LAW AND ORDER THEN HE WILL HUNT CAPTAINS OF THIEVES, LATER HE WILL WILL BE GIVEN PRISON REFORM THEN THOSE HORAS WILL BE GIVEN GOOD LESSONS.

    Dhammika Wednesday, 02 May 2018 05:45 PM

    SF from Army commander is now a minister , MR A former president to a back bench MP . So who has moved forward and backward ? .

    Ralahamy Thursday, 03 May 2018 07:21 AM

    Life cycle keeps moving according to Lord Buddha. MR is the declining further through his utterance of frustration and SF is rising with his crypt statements to media.

    Neil Thursday, 03 May 2018 04:40 AM

    Sarath, you are a great politician with a strong backbone. All the corrupt politicians are not happy and making all these remarks. Just ignore. We are always with you.

    Lal.Fernando. Thursday, 03 May 2018 04:42 AM

    Dear EX President Mr. Rajapakse, when you talk please talk as a intelligent individual.Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka, will do a great job allocated to him.He got great qualities, and he is a gentleman. Mr. Rajapakse why don't you mind your own buisness and behave like a gentleman. I do not think you know the meaning of a gentleman.

    Riyad Cader Thursday, 03 May 2018 09:08 AM

    Thank goodness good riddance of bad rubbish that is what's Mahindra is thinking of

    inthiraj Thursday, 03 May 2018 01:58 PM

    Dear Mr. MR. he is appointed to learn how to deal with animals so on his next appointment he could deal with you and your chuck golayas easily.

    Malli Thursday, 03 May 2018 03:24 PM
