Harsha politicall­y twists his twitter handle

-

UNP Parliament­arian Harsha de Silva may now be forced to revise his official twitter handle again after the latest political developmen­ts.

It was only last week he revised it, responding to an item which appeared on this page. He also made the change and informed the Sunday Times of the amendment made.

Last week, the Sunday Times reported that the MP’s official Twitter handle referred to him as State Minister although the earlier cabinet had been dissolved.

He revised his Twitter profile, by calling himself a “legally appointed but illegally removed State Minister”.

He explained that he had not changed the descriptio­n on his Twitter handle earlier since it was an act of “defiance”.

However, with a new cabinet, state ministers and deputies being sworn in he will need to make changes again.
