Yes Navin. When you behave like an UNP will definitely be NO MORE. You are an insult to your father and his legacy. You seriously dont have the backbone to fight like he did. Its a shame that you say such things when you are also part of the problem

Some wonder whether these sons are the real sons of those politicians.

Hey DXB, Becoming a Barrister is no big deal. If you have the cash you can go to UK or NZ and get it. It doesn't indicate more ability or brains but only more money.

People stay in politics even after violent deaths of family members. Why? Love of the country? Or just ensuring family status and income?

Your correct place is UNP. But need hardwork to come to front. Father is hard work & honest politician. He love all nations.

A well qulified politician with all required qualifications such as Education , Political background . Ideal person to lead the Ministry of Education / Foreign affairs / Sports & youth affair. But Unfortunatley his qulifications and back-ground made him not to have the right postion, as President looks for the persons whom are not fit to handle the positions , like most of the ministers like...... ... ... !!

So why is he sitting in Parliament?Cant he practice? More lucrative in Parliament in addition to the fortune the family amassed during the Victoria Project.

If you were half of what your late father was. The UNP will not face such a situation. Ashamed to see the offspring of great man such as honourable Gamini Dissanayake fading away as they use the lies of the present government as the basis for their political career.

First you listen to his interview before make comments; unless you are a sadist and jelous of him . He is the only sitting barrister in Parliament . Wish you know how difficult to get awarded with Barrister title.

Another not-very-useful politician. Just a son of a former politician. No vision, no mission, just carrying on living by the public pocket using his father's name.
