Going to Maithri and asking for premiership ....

is a problem about Mahinda's backbone!

The phenomenon of former President Mahinda

Rajapaksa and some others meeting President Maithripala some days ago has been severely condemned by Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka. What he says is that this is a problem about Mahinda's backbone. He said so speaking at a rally in Yatiyana area in Matugama.

"If Mahinda has life in his backbone .... even one bone in the backbone or has an atom of self-respect ... will he go to Mr. Maithripala Sirisena's feet with a gang of thieves and ask that he be made a candidate for prime ministership?  He says that he specifically wants the position of prime minister. What he thinks is that Mr. Maithripala Sirisena is someone who is a 'thoththa baba'. A leader who got 63 lakhs asks that he be made the prime minister .... asks that he be allowed to direct the next general election. So that must be done and Mr. Maithripala Sirisena should wait covering himself up after handing it over to him! Funny characters! We won't allow him to stand up again! Won't give a chance to destroy the country again. We'll take Rajapaksa by the end of his ears and twist .. twist .. twist and have dropped him into infinity .... but has fallen into a side of the parliament like a poltergeist .... however much he's chased away .. however much he's fallen into a low state ... that craving for power hasn't gone away!"
