(Lanka-e-News -08.May.2015, 9.00PM) Dallas Alahaperuma at the discussions with president Maithripala Sirisena had requested the latter to offer the prime minister candidacy of the SLFP at the forthcoming general elections to the deposed ,presently deflated moth eaten ex president Medamulana Mahinda Rajapakse . The president has rejected Dallas’ Alahaperuma’s proposal and questioned ‘ where do you find prime minister candidates in the constitution?’ If there are prime minister candidates , there must be minister candidates , deputy minister candidates , speaker candidates and so forth , and people will contest elections as candidates for such posts too, the president has elucidated and laughed derisively at Dallas’ ludicrous proposal.
The president explained as noted in the foregoing paragraph when the UNP MPs inquired about the discussions held with Mahinda yesterday noon a few hours earlier .The president over a hearty laugh revealed details of the discussion with Mahinda when he was enjoying a dinner with the UNP MPs , at Taj Hotel amidst great bonhomie and camaraderie among the UNP MPs , president and the other guests.
After Medamulana Mahinda became aware his prime minister ploy will not work, had said , he will go out , when the president had given his consent to it. Medamulana Rajapakse had then stayed back at the conference table sheepishly. The president responding to the other proposals that were made thereafter by Mahinda group had stated , those will be presented before the SLFP central committee for discussion and decision. The president had however put his foot down and rejected the proposal to dismantle the FCID (financial crimes investigation division) special unit.
Thereafter when Dallas had proposed that the incumbent president and Medamulana Rajapakse shall issue a joint statement , Maithripala had terminated the conversation saying, he has another engagement and terminated the meeting leaving Dallas to wonder why he made this proposal at all.
Dallas Alahaperuma who came out after the discussion , said it was not fruitful for the above reasons.
The president who related this episode to the UNP MPs yesterday noon, said , he had still not forgotten what Mahinda Rajapakse (the currently embattled and rejected) planned to do to Maithripala if the latter lost at the last presidential elections . Maithripala went on to elaborate how a conspiracy was hatched to charge him and his son on a frame up implicating them in a foreign currency fraud of some others . In fact the judges too were summoned by Rajapakses to discuss ways and means to give effect to this plot and to decide how punishment shall be meted out, the president pointed out.
A former president Chandrika Kumaratunge who attended the dinner that night at Taj hotel following the Maithri- Mahinda discussions said she bitterly resented even Maithri meeting with Mahinda.
President while referring to the empty loud mouthed stupid utterances of Dilan Perera such as ‘pina government’ and pina prime minister ‘ must be chased out , advised not to heed what open mouthed idiots (OMIs) blabber .Chandrika then interjecting said , if Ranil is ‘pina prime minister’ , Dilan’s father is a ‘pina governor too.’ Both Chandrika and Maithripala then went on to castigate Dilan’s self degrading conduct .
