I am not surprised .<\/p>\n

I have come across ASP when I was in SLLRDC .He was filling a land in Wattala despite our \u00a0protest .I was influenced by a politician to stop it ,but in vain .Then we were offered to dredge a lake and make drains by the corporation for which ASP had to pay .When the project was commenced I went to the site and ASP himself garlanded me and one of the papers published it to my dismay .<\/p>\n

Then Athulathmudali and Gamini\u00a0 departed from UNP under protest\u00a0 in disagreement with Premadasa .ASP had a car which was imported through\u00a0 a project and ASP manged to acquire it ,His car was caught by police and ASP was not in good books with Premadasa on assumption that he was a Gamini and Athulathmudali\u2019s man.<\/p>\n

There was another Devapura who was filling a land in Lake drive and I protested ,I was threatened and police was informed ,He was about to be arrested and Premadasa calls me 4 am and tells me that this man is a supporter and I should go lenient .OIC Borella had to bring \u00a0Devapura\u2019s brother to my office and I had to accept the apology under protest.<\/p>\n

Same person complied a dossier against me with a photograph of myself garlanded by ASP ,with a claim that I was Lalith\u2019s and Gamini\u2019s man\u00a0 !<\/p>\n

I was called to Premadasa\u2019s office and confronted by the President\u00a0 and \u00a0questioned .My secretary Ailapperuma and Paskeralingam managed to calm him down and I survived .<\/p>\n

Same Devapura hanged banners against Athulathmudali with Word Nav Gilapu Lalith <\/p>\n

After P remadasa\u2019s demise both men were back with Wijethunge and later with UNP<\/p>\n

Then Mahinda came and the peacock mansion built on a marshy land was offered with a pool to MR<\/p>\n

Now both are in good books with Yahaplanaya and I keep watching news and read papers and nostalgically remember how corrupted our society is<\/p>\n

I failed to understand why Rohitha was selected as the governor instead of ASP ,? May be MS wants to show RW that he means business ?<\/p>\n

We are a country of jokers and clowns and we will remain like this\u00a0 forever .<\/p>\n

One of these days His Eminence Cardinal and Asgiriye Nayake Thero will take to streets and take over to make our country Quasi-Religious State ?<\/p>\n

Then we not only say\u00a0 God help me .but also Theruwan Saranai !!!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n
