Sunday Politics:
President Maithripala Sirisena hosted a dinner
for some leading civil society activists and trade union leaders, at
the President’s House, on Wednesday night. Leaders of the National
Movement for a Just Society, Puravesi Balaya and some prominent
trade unions attended the event.
Cat’s eye:
Oh-me-Gosh! What a fortnight! A court verdict
even this ordinary cat had been waiting for, finally delivered. And,
the two major political parties celebrating their birth
anniversaries: the greens exactly the Biblical age and the blues,
five years less. Let us not forget our Prez celebrating his birthday
too.
The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA)
locked horns with the government again, when a group of doctors
occupied the Education Ministry premises demanding a meeting with
the minister. The doctors, who received recent transfers, said their
children had not been given a chance to get admission to a ‘good
school’.
