If there is an election today, both Mr Srisena and Mr. Ranil will lose majority of power in politics. This situation is going to get worse in coming months so this appointment is the attempt to use military power to stay in parliament. Retired Mahinda Deshapriya also recycled back in the same way to manipulate electoral system. Yahapalanaya should be operating with peace and harmony.
