Sirisena, Rajitha, Champika are the same. They cannot be trusted. Ranil and Chandrika was never trusted by the electorate, that is why they hid behind Sirisena to grab power. Also, President on his own cannot cancel these international agreements vital to the security of the country. He has to rely on his Ministers and Secretaries. Sirisena says one thing today, then denies it tomorrow, and does something else the next day. Time and again, he has proved his inability to understand the responsibilities of the position he grabbed leave alone acting as President.
