    The Sunday Times Sri Lanka
  • President says ‘JO’ members jubilant over Karunanayake resignation, but its leaders will soon know what awaits them; quips of appointing even 10 Commissions

  • Another blow to UNP as SLFP Central Committee decides PC polls should not be postponed; 20th Amendment out, Cabinet decision to be reversed

  • UNP backbenchers want no-faith motion against Wijeyadasa on Hambantota and other issues, but PM scuttles the move

It was like the old Sinhala adage of falling from the tree only to be gored by a bull or a double whammy as they say in the West.
