No cabinet meeting, no president! Dinesh skipped the meeting.

It is reported that since President Ranil Wickramasinghe has gone to Britain to pay his last respects to the Queen, the cabinet meeting scheduled to be held yesterday has not been held.

However, although the Prime Minister has the ability to hold the Cabinet meeting even if the President is not present, Mr. Dinesh Gunawardena has not taken steps to convene the Cabinet.
