Wimal asks forgiveness by meeting Maithri yesterday ...
for having said, "Aiyo Sirisena!"Untold story in presence of media
Wimal Weravansha who joined in the talks President Maithripala Sirisena had with Party leaders of the Alliance yesterday expressed information with the media surrounding him about decisions taken at that discussion.
However political sources reveal news about an untold story which happened there. Though the story that the President had after realising the necessity of the Opposition decided to act independently as a result of the pressure of the group including him developing, had washed his hands from the duty of selecting the Opposition Leader and before beginning to comment on it, Wimal had revealed nothing about asking for forgiveness from the President.Leader of the Jathika Nidahas Peramuna, Mr. Wimal Weeravansha has expressed his regret yesterday to President for making statements of criticism against Maithripala Sirisena during the past election period saying, "Aiyo Sirisena ..... Sirisenayo mehe varo ....", it was reported. Everyone from the United People's Freedom Alliance had been a witness to this incident where Wimal pleaded in this manner. The response by the President on this occasion was only a smile. Wimal Weeravansha had told the President that criticism is aimed on political stages to win over people ... that it would not be repeated in future and that he would engage in politics with co-operation.
Wimal Weeravansha had expressed after the meeting only what was said by the President; he had covered up this particular matter.
