Exemplary. Minister and a honourable politician Mr Athulathmudali

When I see how government ministers and opposition politicians and politically motivated artists express various views indirectly supporting and even abetting terrorism and also tend to interfere in police actions against wrongdoers in various areas ,I feel sad that we lost leader like Athulathmudali who would have act differently.
In eighties one of his nephew was arrested by police for active involvement In JVP activities and kept in Panagoda camp
His father who was a ex military office met me after coming from UK to try to get him released.
Ministers flatly refused to interfere
After he was released I gave him a sponsor letter to run away to UK
Our blabbering politicians should stop interfering with the police actions against Muslim terrorists as well as Sinhalese racist elements who are trying to destablise the good name of the country.
BBC and some western press organisations are already going to town trying to tell the world that Sinhalese Buddhists are very racist .
My contention still stands.
We need a just and benevolent brave leader to take matters to their hands.
Military top brass should stop playing political games
One voice from one leader should decide how to tackle the situation
That is the need of the hour

I wonder where the third ship bought from Argentina went to?

To his credit he established Mahapola. Perhaps this is to compensate for the schol he is supposed to have received from SWRD to go to oxford. I have seen scandal papers in the city regarding ships during his time as a minister. May be his wife too continued on the same path and that may be the reason for her to go to oblivion.
