Colombo, Feb 19 (Daily Mirror) - The office of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa today denied allegations by a Buddhist monk that government payments and pensions have been allocated to former First Lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa.

Chief Incumbent of the Mihintale Raja Maha Viharaya, Ven. Walahahengunawewe Dhammaratana Thera, recently claimed that the former First Lady had been receiving multiple pensions and government payments.

In response to the allegations, the office of the former President clarified that the claims by Ven. Dhammaratana Thera are based on unverified information and hence, these claims are vehemently rejected.

It is common sense for the monk to understand that a pension will be paid to a former first lady if she becomes a widow, like in the case of Mrs Premadasa.

The receipt of payments by Shiranthi was disclosed to Mihintale Thera by a retired public servant quoting from a government publication. The discussion is in you tube

Isn’t there any law to take action against false accusations made in public? At this rate we would be called robbers, drug dealers etc. anyway in this country law does not apply to criminals in robes! Elections time , they will preach all nonsense (everything except their religion)

There was a saying ‘if money is lost,nothing is lost,health is lost,something is lost but character is lost, everything is lost’, MR lost his far-sight due to power he exercised,when he had to balance trust to the nation and steal their wealth, he chose second, one who had a opportunity to die like king now dying like a pariah dog ,detested by all most all.

All vulnerable Theros are coming under US hegemony to share out Sri Lanka with the LTTE of India, unleashed in Sri Lanka causing us to carry out 30-long years of war, that crippled the whole country economically, geographically, politically, culturally, etc.
