Concerns mount from within govt against rulers - Rohana Bandara

COLOMBO (News 1st); Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Parliamentarian Rohana Bandara says that the ruling party MPs and Ministers have started to voice their concerns over the Rajapaksas. Bandara noted that President Rajapaksa is trying to suppress Ministers from opposing him and he threatens to remove those who go against him from their positions. Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa is in a state of great frustration. He goes on a private pilgrimage to Tirupathi to be relieved from stress, said MP Rohana Bandara. '' At a time when the people of this country are finding it difficult to purchase a loaf of bread, the leaders of this country are going abroad on pilgrimage to wash off their sins in private jets '', Bandara said. The MP questioned whether they are using the hard-earned money of the people to go on these trips, instead of trying to make the people's lives better.
