Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa today said the newly elected administration should ensure that political ethics are preserved and maintained.
He made this statement today in Kandy when he visited the Dalada Maligawa and met with the Malwathu and Agiri Mahanayake theras.
“Generations in my family have engaged in politics but it is for the first time that my house was searched yesterday. If there were illegal goods it would have been okay but there was nothing. . . Therefore, political ethics should be protected,” he said.
He had also expressed concern over post-election violence and said it should be the priority of the new administration to put a stop to such harassment.
“Innocent civilians used their vote with a certain confidence and for that, they should not be harassed. This is not what I expected. . .” he had stated adding that despite his defeat, he would always represent the aspirations and expectations of his voters.

SHAME YOU DID NOT PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH. YOU HAD TEN YEARS AND YOU DID JUST THE OPPOSITE. THAT IS WHY THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY KICKED YOU OUT, IT IS BEST YOU STAY OUT.
YOU HARBOURED ANDD DEFENDED MURDERERS, RAPISTS, THIEVES AND UNDESIRABLES AND THAT WAS YOUR DOWNFALL.
SO STOP PREACHING AND ASK PEOPLE TO FORGIVE YOU FOR MAKING A MESS OF THIS COUNTRY AND TAXING THE PEOPLE TO MAINTAIN YOUR POWER HUNGRY MEGALOMANIA.

Ethics shall be maintained if you kept everyone at the same level. You went to the next level. You know what i mean. Atleast if you had given monetary policies or tax returns.
Nothing.
