The ex-president has told a government minister that he had agreed to move the no-confidence motion at the insistence of the MPs around him. Therefore, it is clear that even he believes this to be a falsehood and a joke. He has also told the minister that JO MPs were likely to claim that the no-confidence motion was moved at his insistence.
Making his remark true, a top JO figure has told a government minister that the no-confidence motion was wanted by the former president. The ex-president is trying to save face by blaming it on the MPs around him, while they too, do likewise.
It is unfortunate for the country’s politics that the power-hungry Mahinda Rajapaksa and those around him have made a joke out of no-confidence motions before the public.
