The second son and Chief of Staff of Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, Yoshitha Rajapaksa and his wife left the country in the early hours of today morning, the Daily Mirror learns.

Yoshitha and his wife arrived at the BIA and left for Singapore.

Yoshitha's exit from the country is on a very crucial day as his father, the Prime Minister is expected to announce a decision on whether he will step down from the Premiership. Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa is expected to attend the cabinet meeting today evening and is likely to thereafter announce a decision after the President had informed him to step down.

Presently, thousands of Mahinda's supporters have gathered in and out of Temple Trees urging Mahinda Rajapaksa to stay on.

Yoshitha, why was his passport impounded. How did he hold job in the navy without any qualification. Rat has escaped.

Entire family should leave the country. Just to stop leaving of millions of intelligent, young Sri Lankans. It is better if they to go to the hell soon. Even one day of their stay will delay the recovery of the country by one year...... God!!! Please save Sri Lanka!!! We have no where to go....

Is Singapore immigration aware that it is Mahinda Rajapaksa's son? Is he taking Ruwanda currencies?

He organized the attack on the peaceful protesters and quietly left the country. Hope he won’t return.
