Keeping a distance from the President.
By Charles Perera
This picture that appeared in the Daily News some time back speaks a lot. This may also explain why JVP is politically drawn away from the President.
Somawansa Amarasinghe who had left a chair empty besides the President, is uncomfortably occupied shrunk into his chair. He looks so small in his chair besides his party colleague. Why did he leave the chair besides the President to sit in a chair away from him ? Was it through respect, or through an inferiority complex ? The answer weighs more on the latter supposition. Their thinking seems to be on the same line. Amarasinghe does not fill the chair in which he sits. He looks so small in the big chair, seated uncomfortably with his back hunched. He looks envious, besides being small. No doubt he plans to unseat the President from his chair, so that he could sit erect in his more comfortably, and look straight ahead not bothered by the more splendid posture of the President on his side.
The way he could fight this smallness is by defying the President,
threatening to defeating him in the budget, so that next time he takes
a seat in the same row of chairs along with the President, the President
will be seated uncomfortable besides him with his back hunched and small
like how he is now. Then it is the President who will suffer from an
inferiority complex seated besides him, a giant of a man who defied
the President.
