Slap in the face of Sajin Vaas at marketing conference!

 

Sunday, 12 October 2014 

Organizers of the Global Capital Marketing Conference that took place with the participation of Sri Lankan economic specialists at Cinnamon Lake Hotel in Colombo on October 09 had indirectly slapped external affairs ministry’s supervising MP, the thug, Sajin Vaas Gunawardena.

Chief guest at the conference, president Mahinda Rajapaksa, had taken Sajin Vaas along with him to the occasion. However, he had not received an invitation. But, organizers gave him a front seat as he had come with the president. But, heads of the conference gave strict instructions to compere Arun Dias Bandaranaike not to invite Sajin Vaas to light the traditional oil lamp to mark the inauguration of the conference.

Accordingly, Sajin Vaas’ name was not read out when guests were invited by name to light the oil lamp. Severely inconvenienced by that, the president had looked at Arun Dias and pointed his finger at Sajin Vaas. But, he looked the other way and invited the president only to light the oil lamp.

All those seated in the front seats, excepting Sajin Vaas, had been invited to light the oil lamp. The thug MP has expressed his displease to the president for shaming him thus. The president pacified him by saying, “the man did not see you.”
