Actors and actresses queued up outside the Remand Prison in Welikade two weeks ago to meet with National Freedom Front leader and Parliamentarian Wimal Weerawansa. Roger Seneviratne, an actor and a member of the NFF, was arranging for batches to go in.
One batch was inside talking to Mr. Weerawansa when one of his party mates rushed in and told him that Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) leader Ven. Galagod-atte Gnanasara Thera had come to see him.
“Eyata kiyanna mata oluwa kekkumak hedila nidiy kiyala (tell him that I am having a headache and am asleep),” replied Mr. Weerawansa as he walked away from the meeting area.
The final rites of veteran broadcaster, writer, and lyricist Nirmala de Alwis will be held today at Peradeniya.
