One is a lunatic, other is a thief – president!

A few days before president Mahinda Rajapaksa left for the US, he had a meeting with heads of the police department, and during that meeting he has asked, IGP N.K. Illangakoon, “Recently, newspapers reported that motorcyclists had followed the president of the bar association. Who had gone like that?”

Answering, the IGP has said, “Sir, it was the work of our intelligence chief Wagista. His men had followed Upul Jayasuriya. You know sir, Wagista spoils any job.”

Surprised by that reply, the president has should out for all to hear, “Wagista is a lunatic. When I read his reports, I thought him half mad. When I see what he does I know he is fully mad. Soon, the SIS will have to be taken to Angoda. Worse than the met department. The other one is Anura Senanayake. He is a thief. I have the underworld list that pays him ransom. Both do mad things on the strength of Gota. People scold the government. This is a funny fate of us. As the IGP use your powers and do something. I know Gota will not allow that. I don’t know what to do,” the president has said, letting out a big sigh.

Understanding the crisis facing the president, the top police officials had remained silent, without speaking about it any further.
