Photograph where Mahinda stands up when Maithri arrives .... subjected to a dialogue among foreign media!
The instance when the present President Maithripala Sirisena walked in opening the new session in parliament yesterday to attend the occasion of the royal speech, former President Mahinda Rajapaksa
who was in that instance an ordinary member of parliament stood up to respect Maithri which could be seen in the photograph published here and the incident created various dialogues across foreign media yesterday. A former President assuming this status in the presence of the present President became a moment of humour to some.
