Another operation to ‘blackmail’ Sajith!

 Sunday, 02 November 2014 

The CID has suddenly resumed an investigation into Rs. two million fake currency notes which Dulanjali Premadasa, sister of UNP deputy leader Sajith Premadasa, was going to deposit in a bank.

The defence secretary has made Sajith his servant by levelling various allegations against him.

He was angered by Sajith’s recent disregard of his orders, and ordered the resumption of the probe against Dulanjali.

Acting upon this order, two CID officers are gathering information, reports say.

The money was found to be fakes when Dulanjali was going to deposit it in a bank, and a businessman was arrested on the charge of giving her the counterfeit notes.

Despite initial promises to enforce the law against the businessman, the investigation was suspended on an order from a highest government position, Dulanjali was absolved and the news about the incident covered up.

Ministers leave UNP in the lurch as Saturn makes transit!

 Sunday, 02 November 2014 

Several government ministers, MPs and regional leaders have abandoned their idea, at the last moment, of joining the UNP to coincide with the transit of the Saturn which is due to take place tonight (02), according to reports reaching ‘Lanka News Web’ through very reliable sources.

Accordingly, two MPs who were to cross over at the vote on the second reading of the budget in parliament yesterday (01) afternoon, had informed the UNP leadership that they could not take such a decision on that day.

Twelve regional leaders of the SLFP too, had abandoned their decision to inform the president by fax that they were resigning from their positions as well as the party membership.

Their change of stance has been prompted by the foolish remark made by UNP deputy leader Sajith Premadasa at Hyde Park in Colombo, in which he referred to those joining the UNP from the government as rats. Those who were going to join the opposition have been discouraged by the UNP leader’s silence over his deputy’s remarks.
