No ‘politics’ was discussed at the meeting between President Maithripala Sirisena and former President Mahinda Rajapaksa at the latter’s residence in Medamula this morning, a highly placed source close to the former President told Asian Mirror.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

The discussion took place afer Sirisena paid last respect to the former President’s deceased brother, Chandra Rajapaksa, at the former President’s personal residence this morning. <\/p>\n

Former Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa and former Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa also welcomed the President and joined in the brief discussion. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“The discussion was largely focused on the former President’s brother and several other non-controversial matters. No politics was discussed. That’s all I can say for the moment,” the former President’s aide said.<\/p>\n

However, he described the discussion as “warm and congenial”. <\/p>\n

The President, when he visited the Medamulana residence, was flanked by Justice Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe and Finance and Media Deputy Minister Lasantha Alagiyawanna. <\/p>\n

This was the first time Sirisena visited the Medamulana residence of the Rajapaksas after he defected from the previous government in November, 2014. <\/p>\n

Chandra Rajapaksa worked as the Private Secretary to the Minister of Ports and Shipping under the Rajapaksa government of which Sirisena was a senior minister. <\/p>\n

He died in Tangalle earlier this week, at the age of 70. <\/p>\n
