He is not related only to Obama, president tells of Mervyn!

Saturday, 13 September 2014 

The president summoned public relations minister Dr. Mervyn Silva, who claims that all the Sinhalese are his relatives, and gave him a contract to fulfil. That is to threaten and tame a UNP provincial council election candidate who is unleashing thuggery in Moneragala district these days. In order to be in the good books of the president, Mervyn accepted the contract, went to Kiribathgoda immediately, got around 250 of his thugs into vehilcles and left for Moneragala.

Arriving in the area in question in Moneragala, the minister and his thugs had raised hell, and surrounded the home of the UNP candidate whom they had come to tame. Coming out of the house wearing only a towel was UNP MP Palitha Thewarapperuma. Saying “Ah, Mervyn Aiya,” Palitha has gone to Mervyn and he has embraced him, asking him, “What are you doing here, Malli?” Placing his hands around Mervyn’s shoulder, Palitha has taken him inside. A little while later, to the much surprise of his thugs, Mervyn came out, his hands around the shoulder of the UNP candidate they had come to tame.

In front of them all, Mervyn gave a call to the president and said, “OK. Sir, the matter has been settled. He is my relation. He wants to join the government after winning. I will do the needful.” Saying something, the president disconnected the line and told those near him, “Now, only Obama of America is not related to our Mervyn.”
