UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe wife, Prof. Maithree Wickramasinghe, has intervened last night to cancel a dinner organized for the UNP Parliamentary group at Temple Trees by insisting that all MPs eat the same 'Buth packets’ distributed to 5,000-odd supporters gathered at the Temple Trees premises.
A UNP Parliamentarian had sponsored the dinner in support of all MPs gathered at the official residence of the Prime Minister in support of Ranil Wickremesinghe.
Prof. Wickramasinghe had intervened to cancel the dinner stating no Parliamentarian should get better meals than the ordinary supporters protecting the party leader.
Asian Mirror learns that Prof. Wickremasinghe walked into a meeting of a UNP MP group to ensure the cancellation of the dinner.
It is also learnt that the UNP MPs had commended Prof. Wickramasinghe's effort and complied with her request. She was also seen at the forefront of the protest organized by the UNP supporters, earlier this week, outside Temple Trees.
