Namal shown the door after trying to flirt with schoolgirls!

 Thursday, 31 July 2014 

Nil Balakaya is taking president’s son, MP Namal Rajapaksa to the schools these days under the ‘nutrition week’ island wide to raise awareness among girls and boys on rugby.

Only boys play rugby, but MP Namal prefers to tell the girls about the game. At his request, he was taken by Nil Balakaya to Vishaka College, Colombo this morning (31). Pleased by the first attempt there, he had then requested Sirimavo Bandaranaike College to give him an opportunity to tell its students about rugby.

The school administration had first said they did not need to play rugby, but ultimately had unwillingly given consent to MP Namal, fearing unnecessary trouble. Going there following the reception he received at Vishaka College, Namal had begun flirting with the girls, forgetting all about rugby. The teacher in charge of discipline had looked on patiently, but in the end, had gone to him and told him kindly to follow the discipline of the school.

Without heeding the teacher’s request, Namal had continued to behave in an unbecoming manner. Losing her temper, the teacher in charge of discipline had gone to him and ordered him to leave the school premises immediately, to the much applause by the girls. Becoming powerless, Namal and his Nil Balakaya beat a hasty retreat from Sirimavo Bandaranaike College.

‘Palamu Peramuna’ to support Sobhitha Thera!

 Thursday, 31 July 2014 

‘Palamu Peramuna’, formed by a group of activists of the JVP in 1989, still politically active, but without any link with the party, will begin its activities island wide from the 01st of next month, a member of the group told ‘Lanka News Web.

Convener of the group is Nandana Gunatilake, who contested the 1994 presidential election on the ticket of the JVP (Jathiya Galawa Genime Peramuna). Its other members include the ex-JVPers former fisheries minister Chandrasiri Wijesinghe, Achala Jagoda and Kelum Amarasinghe.

‘Palamu Peramuna’ has held several rounds of talks with the JVP’s 1971 uprising activists such as Kelly Senanayake and reached basic agreements, said its member. These talks had been coordinated by another activist by the name Saman.

This group has attracted attention in the political arena by demonstrating its organizational strength of the past by deceiving the military and carrying out a poster campaign titled ‘Andurata Erehi Obata’ island wide on a single night.

Alarmed by this poster, president Mahinda Rajapaksa has spoken to State Intelligence Service (SIS) chief C.N. Wagista and inquired from him about it and was told by him that it was the work of minister Basil Rajapaksa. When the president asked him as to how he had reached that conclusion, Wagista has gone onto to say that Nandana and Achala were friends of minister Basil. Anyhow, the president was not satisfied with that answer and ordered that a close tab be kept on the activities of ‘Palamu Peramuna.’

Explaining about their activities, the member also told us that they were yet to decide the candidate they would support at the presidential election. The group has held several rounds of talks with Ranil Wickremesinghe and Maduluwawe Sobhitha Thera, he said, adding that they found that the activities and the vision of Sobhitha Thera’s Movement for a Just Society go together their own vision.
