Warned not to step out of bounds

There is a young Pohottuwa Diyawanna member elected from the Colombo district for the first time. 

A fluent speaker, he belongs to the black-coated gentry. 

While the 20A developed into a hot topic for discussion in political circles and the public domain, this young Diyawanna member also started expressing his views on the amendment freely in public. 

Number Two was watching the young member’s ‘public performance’ for some time and finding that he was set on going too far, decided to rein him in. And he was sent for. 

When the Diyawanna member showed up, Number Two had given him a good lecture and it was a subdued member who later quietly walked away, they say.
