Claiming that the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) sans any policy now, Former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga said there are only a bunch of mad hatters in the party now.

She told reporters in Colombo that the SLFP was the most Democratic Party in Sri Lanka after the Independence and that its party democracy has been destroyed.

"There is no SLFP today. There are no policies or people in the party. Only the name-board is there," he said.

She said what matters for her is not the party but the policies and the people of the party and therefore she would continue to work for the people and the policies of the party.

SLFP has a good three wheel driver, Maithripala. If there was no politics, he would have been one of the best three wheel drivers in Pollonaruwa Junction.

Well said. Since Sirisena is seen to be elevating his son, the party has become too centric about it's chairman - Sirisena.

Ram Monday, 05 September 2022 02:52 PM

CBK, Sans the party you can follow the policies and work for the people without too much talking. You only talk without any show of work

Kalusena Monday, 05 September 2022 02:54 PM

You become President only because of Neoplatonism. You had a privileged life and studied overseas whilst other bright Sri Lankans never had a chance to get a proper education or employment. During your mothers government we had to go hungry whilst your family were feasting on luxury items. SLFP does not belong to you. This is a democratic country if pestle want they can select mad hatters as a leader. Ian sure they will be better then you or your family members.

MirakRajBanda Monday, 05 September 2022 03:02 PM

.....but the party itself formed by an stupid idiot who not only hated minorities so much but also deprived the Sinhala masses from English based education while sending his children to France and England for higher studies, brainwashed and hijacked the multicultural Sri Lanka into a chauvinistic ideology for his very own, selfish existence in politics and then the mother continued, then daughter followed and yet again more ruthless family got into his footsteps, even worse..... Can the daughter stop preaching before she comes out full-fledged apology to the nation for her father's crime against people (Tamil, Moors, Malays, Burghers and Singhalese )of Sri Lanka!!!!!!!

BuffaloaCitizen Monday, 05 September 2022 04:36 PM

In interviews both daughters have admitted what there father did was wrong by bringing the "Sinhala only" policy where he played to the gallery of Sinhala extremists.

TJ Monday, 05 September 2022 03:12 PM

Even the founder of the party himself was a mad hatter whose policies have brought the country to the present level

Vernon Monday, 05 September 2022 03:25 PM

What about you father as the mad hatter, brought Sinhala only and made a disastrous effect to entire SL which is still prevailing

Ranjan Monday, 05 September 2022 04:39 PM

Its anyway a bad party with mad ideas supported by mad people proposed and supported by RW.

REEZ Monday, 05 September 2022 05:09 PM

A party formed to win the majority votes by racism/Chauvinism that showed the end of the road to Sri Lanka. Ruined our English education.

GHT Monday, 05 September 2022 07:12 PM

But no one has invited YOU to work for SLFP. What sort of WORK you have to DO?

Buruwa Monday, 05 September 2022 08:51 PM

You are absolutely right. The head of the Mad Hatters chief gong Sirisena is the main culprit who brought back Rajapakshas into power again and all of us are suffering like this today.

Karalasingam Sivalingam Monday, 05 September 2022 10:41 PM

SLFP's Singhala only policy was the root cause for all the problems in this country. Bandaranayake's and JR brought hatred among communities.

N Andhasena Tuesday, 06 September 2022 03:25 AM

Madam, distance yourself from the party and your parents policies that started the rot in the country. To my knowledge you have never been corrupt but you put a noose around your neck by making the most corrupt megalomaniac PM. Ended with the rajapaksha dynasty and their scum followers destroying our mother land.

Hawkeye Tuesday, 06 September 2022 04:07 AM

"DISTANCE LOOKS LENDS TO ENCHANMENT'. When you were in power you could not bring yourself to create an inclusive society, where all citizens were look upon as equal. You had to play the racial trumpet loud and clear. Now when someone else plays this trumpet it looks out of notes? A wise politician once said two languages one state, one language two state. Please learn from your past mistakes and look at progressive countries like Singapore for guidance.

veraan de mel Tuesday, 06 September 2022 05:59 AM

You are absolutely right Madam. Please save our country from this mad corrupt people

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Country Tuesday, 06 September 2022 06:11 AM

Wonder who created them! Your guess is as good as mine!!!

TS Tuesday, 06 September 2022 08:35 AM

You are the main reason for the ruin of SLFP and the country as a whole. Your very loose, indiscipline , unproductive rule of two terms gave Rajapaksas to dominate the country politics. Now mind your business and be where you are.

Hubert Congreve Tuesday, 06 September 2022 08:54 AM

True Madam, there are so many power hunger goons in the SLFP including Sirisena and some idiots had already joined with the crazy government with the intention of making money with perks and benefits.

Tony Samuel Tuesday, 06 September 2022 08:57 AM

I agree with Sirisena the joker SLFP cannot prosper, but you could go ahead with your new party and do some reforms for the betterment of our country.

Dino Sabestian Tuesday, 06 September 2022 08:59 AM

Do you think Kumara Welgama could do better than Mythiripala Sirisena? He too is sloppy like Ranil.

selvam Tuesday, 06 September 2022 10:11 AM

it is the founder mad hatters racist policy that has brought this country to this state and by virtue of which you became President. Agree you and your sister apologized to the Nation. But that should have been done while you were in office not after retirement

Jef Tuesday, 06 September 2022 10:55 AM

Sri Lanka now in its last leg due to poor majority of politician's in the past...our Mr president said it's only D.S.Senanayake was a true character that wanted this nation to do well he had a heart with passion Sri Lanka need a new generation to take up politics to Resurrect this dying nation except our president have the capability to help the young smart educated decent girls

Aquarius Tuesday, 06 September 2022 01:11 PM

Despite your father’s madman policies to divide the country on ethnic lines, the country did not have corrupt leaders until 2005. Then all hell broke lose

Rohini Palabedda Tuesday, 06 September 2022 03:48 PM

What you are going to in 24 hours as your father? Due to his policies Mina, Kaputa, Gona and Kaha Balallu came to the parliament and destroyed the country!!
