Schoolchildren cannot mimic the president

Central province chief minister Sarath Ekanayake has ordered that schoolchildren be not allowed to mimic president Mahinda Rajapaksa at public functions.

 His order to the provincial education secretary is expected to be issued in circular form to all principals in the province this week.

 The most immediate reason for the order is that the child of an Islamic school, in attire similar to the one worn by the president, had performed in a comedy, lankacnews reports.
