An unusual incident occurred during the recent foundation stone laying ceremony for a swimming pool at Veyangoda Bandaranaike Central College. Parliamentarian Prasad Siriwardana declined the invitation to attend the event as a special guest and chose to participate as an ordinary alumnus.
This decision has been lauded on social media, particularly in light of the refusal by several members of the current government, including the former Speaker, to heed a request made by Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya. Siriwardhana’s action stands in stark contrast to this behavior and has garnered widespread praise.
