Friday, 12 October 2007

The Ceylon Workers' Congress parliamentary group led by Arumugam Thondaman who resigned from the portfolios recently swore in Thursday before the Sri Lankan President President Mahinda Rajapakse.

They vacated their posts earlier in the year in protest of an incident of verbal abuse by President's brother cum Senior Adviser Basil Rajapakse.

Thondaman swore in as cabinet Minister of Youth Empowerment and Socio Economic Development while the others took oaths as Deputy Ministers.

Sangaralingam Sellasamy swore in as Deputy Minister of Posts, Muttu Sivanlingam as Deputy Minister of Estate Infrastructure, Murugan Satchithanandan as Deputy Minister of Education and Shanmugam Jegathgeeswaran as Deputy Minister of National Integration.

I would have been surprised only if he had not re-joined! In fact I was a bit surprised that he waited this long. Is someone is trying to insult him for that? C'mon, give him a break! Let the man enjoy while he has the chance. There are some juicy news that are in the hands of the power that be. There apparently is some armtwisting going on! The poor chap cannot stay away form it even if he wanted to. Mind you, he is not alone there. There are quite a number of big-wings in the list. If they as much as thought about having self-respect or semblence of duty to the electors.....everything will be exposed. So ...hm....beggqar cannot be choosers. Make hay while the sun shines! what?
