Minister of Agriculture Mahindananda Aluthgamage, who is known for his outspoken nature, last week claimed there were “pimps” in the House. Aluthgamage last Monday (6) accused the Opposition Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) of being “pimps” who were willing to put down the nation in order to rise to power. Aluthgamage, referring to a speech by United National Party (UNP) Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe, who, on an earlier occasion noted that the UNP had plans for the future of Sri Lanka, said that there was no point in talking of the future when they had already “ruined” the country. The Minister went on to question whether the SJB would be any better, since it is a by-product of the UNP.
