Video: President on the mat
WEDNESDAY, 10 DECEMBER 2014Mr Mahinda Rajapaksa, who appears as a devoted Buddhist and engages in religious practices sitting on high chairs goes suddenly to Thirupathy Hindu Temple after handing over nominations and sits on the floor to get blessings from gods.
Billions of rupees in public money have to be used to take a ‘SriLankan’ flight to go abroad. The allocation for the President from the budget was Rs.8570 million. However, it was increased later to Rs.10490 million for such wasteful spending.
Immediately after handing over nomination papers on the 8th the President participated in a religious ceremony at Viddyalankara Pirivena at Peliyagoda. There he sat on a comfortable chair during the ceremony.
