Mahinda Feels Premadasa Era Was Better Than Yahapalana?

Immediately after returning from his Japan visit to Srilanka, Mahinda Rajapakshe visited his son in Tangalle prison. After visiting his son and others at the Tangalle prison, yesterday, Mahinda said, that he expected a fair decision
from the judiciary over the arrest of MP Namal Rajapaksa and a few other Joint Opposition supporters in connection with the recent protest in Hambantota.

He further said, that Shivajilingam can defy court orders and hold demonstration in the North and be free. But the same leniency does not apply to our MPs, in the south. All who were arrested and remanded are expected to be produced before court again, today. Among the arrested are a few mother and some children who are still studying in schools.

Arrests of this nature did not take place even during the Premadasa ‘s presidency , ”the former President added.
Even the sky above Hambantota will be sold to India. We will not have ownership over our own sky. The Yhapalana government was taking quick measures to sell the country’ s assets to foreign parties, he concluded.
