Unwelcome guest at the ceremony!

-

The fallen war heroes were commemorat­ed at an impressive ceremony held at the Diyawanna esplanade the other day.

While the ceremony was underway, some political and white-collar highups present at the event as guests found themselves sharing in low confidenti­al tones a question that intrigued them all.

It was the credential­s of a certain character present on the occasion as a guest representi­ng the provincial administra­tion that puzzled these highups.

“How come this person has been nominated to come here as a guest?”was the question to which each of them was seeking an answer.

Several political high-ups had openly expressed their disapprova­l of the presence of the strange character as a guest on the occasion, they say.
