Namal, himself, admitted that such a photograph was taken, but he did not know who the Tamil person was. Who are these 'experts' who say that this photograph is NOT authentic?

Our CID and Police are very efficient, when arresting suspects from the opposite camps.

All above are pro-UNP comments from people who are not having a balanced out-look of the situation. Please look at the situation as a moderate person without being biased, when reading these comments, we who are not for any side feel that all these comments are coming from those who are having some grudge against the governing party. Though we accept the fact that there is corruption in the present govt. still there are good points for them as well. All educated people should take a moderate view and consider the good and the bad of both sides.

It is really a joke, he spoke of this photo in PUBLIC meetings. In fact, he should have now been questioned by the CID.

CID and the Police are very "efficient" in what benefits the boss, and in deep sleep over what benefits the people of the country! This is why we need a change!!!

MR campaign is a comedy of errors. Well, now these are last few nails of the UPFA coffin. I thought intelligence guys pick information and CID only investigates them. Looks like that too is reversed these days. Ohoma yaaannn !!!!

This could be the last 'trump-card' to win the sympathy of the electorate. I don't think that voters are so stupid to fall for this type of joke!

It seems that the LTTE, even after its "annihilation," has a BIG role to play in Sri Lankan politics, especially, in the Presidential race. Until the people of this country stop falling for such ludicrous deception, the myth of the LTTE will be kept alive, by our ardent politicians!

You cannot win elections, this way! People are not fools!

Namal has already, publicly, admitted that this photo shows him with "some Tamil boy."
