Saturday, 23 August 2014
Journalists became worried when they saw president’s son, Hambantota district MP Namal Rajapaksa, present at a dinner hosted by deputy posts minister and chief cricket selector Sanath Jayasuriya for them in order to reconcile with recent media criticism of him.
Since the dinner was strictly for journalists, some had gone there even without informing their respective workplaces.
Due to Namal’s presence, they had become severely inconvenienced, and had tried to hide themselves from him.
Below is a picture taken of Namal with some journalist supporters of his, at Sanath’s Q-Bar where the dinner took place.

According to our sources, the trip had been a previously unannounced one.
When contacted, a very close friend of the president told us that the president’s brothe Dudley, who lives in the US, had been in Sri Lanka recently, and that the two had left early today (23) for a minor medical test of the president.
The silent approach by the Rajapaksa family over this trip has given rise to speculations. However, the president’s office has officially announced that the president was preparing to to leave for New York to address the annual meeting of the United Nations.
