Ranjan - Welgama 'parliament love-jokes'
When the parliament assembled last Thursday, a dialogue between Deputy Minister Ranjan and Welgama, Member of Parliament relating to a female star cropped up. It is as follows:
Ranjan: This MP Kumara Welgama who has romantic connections
with actresses is my good friend. But I went and gave a file to the Bribery Commission because of a bus-transport issue. Then of course there's no friendship. (The council break into laughter).
Wegama: It's so with actresses. The public knows about my connection with an actress. It's a normal thing. Let me say one thing .... I won't go with old women.
Ranjan: That actress he's talking about ... I also have loved. Ask who I am". (The council break into a laugh again).
