Moragoda a sanctimonious humbug: Mohamed

...ran the headline on one of yesterday's (Monday July 17th) front page stories on the Daily Mirror.

The article ran thus (this is an edited version of course!):

"Referring to a letter Mr. Moragoda reportedly sent to UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe...'There never was so outstanding an example of sanctimonious humbug,' Mr. Mohamed said."

"Mr. Mohamed explained that Mr. Moragoda had made a passionate appeal to members of the party, to rally round the leader, after sending a letter to deputy leader Karu Jayasuriya, in the form of an MoU, under which he supported the latter for his appointment as leader of the Opposition, if Mr. Jayasuriya took action to secure the appointment of himself as the deputy leader of the party. "

"In addition, Mr. Mohamed said that Mr. Moragoda deserves a very special accolade for his role in the unprecedented tragicomedy in the present state of affairs of the Colombo Municipal Council."

Isn't it SO refreshing when someone speaks their mind?? My faith in Sri Lankan politicians have been somewhat remedied..I think!
