Ranil’s Maithree insists on buth packet equality
Thousands of United National Party (UNP) supporters have spent days and nights at Temple Trees since President Maithripala Sirisena “sacked” Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe on October 26. The UNP high command has been distributing packets of rice or ‘buth packets’ through this time.
On Thursday night, a dinner had been organised for all MPs who were gathered at the official residence of the ‘deposed prime minister.
A UNP MP told the Sunday Times that Mr Wickremesinghe’s wife, Prof. Maithree Wickramasinghe, however, had intervened and insisted that the dinner should be cancelled, noting that MPs should not have better meals than supporters who had come to protect party leaders.
All UNP MPs who were present agreed with her wholeheartedly and the dinner was cancelled, with the MPs deciding to eat the same packets of rice given to supporters, a source disclosed.
