The mobile phone of National Freedom Front leader – Wimal Weerawansa, had recently remained switched off, causing quite a stir among political circles.
As pointed out by cartoonists, it is no secret that Mr. Weerawansa’s mobile phone is almost never switched off.
This had sparked rumours, citing the reason as his close aide – Nimal Piyatissa attending a New Year festival attended by President Ranil Wickremesinghe as chief guest.
However, the actual reason is revealed to be Mr. Weerawansa working on his next book which is set to be published on his birthday which falls on May 15.
In addition, it is revealed that Mr. Piyatissa had also participated in the aforementioned event on the invitation of the organizers – the Nuwara Eliya Divisional Secretariat and ‘Youth Api Organization’.
