Power and Energy Minister Pavithra 

Wanniarachchi has held a grand party at the Monash Hotel in Thalawathugoda on the 4th evening that has ended at around 4 a.m. the following day. Ironically, Pavithra’s liquor party had taken place while 4,000 Buddhist monks were chanting the Jayapiritha at the BMICH to invoke blessings on President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

Many government ministers who had attended the pirith ceremony in order to score points with the President had left a few minutes later to attend Pavithra’s party. After consuming food and liquor at the party, the government members and ministers have returned to the pirith ceremony.

After staying a little more at the pirith ceremony, the government members and minister had returned to Pavithra’s party.

Sri Lanka cricketer Thilakaratne Dilshan’s wife, Manjula's birthday party was also held at the Monash Hotel. Government ministers who attended Pavithra’s party had also dropped by at Manjula’s birthday and wished her as well.

Another group of government members had visited a party at Steam Boat in Nawala.

The party at Steamboat was organized by businessman politician, MP Tiran Alles. The cause for the celebration was the 25th wedding anniversary of the managing editor of the Mawbima newspaper Thusara Gunaratne and his wife. Senior officials from the President’s Media Unit had attended the event. The President had wished Thusara and his wife and sent them a bouquet of flowers and a cake.
