Hirunika's dilemma: How to address MR?

Hirunika's dilemma: How to address MR? UNP Parliamentarian Hirunika Premachandra today said she was uncertain as how to address former President Mahinda Rajapaksa since he was also now an ordinary parliamentarian. “Mahinda Rajapaksa lost his reputation because of his extreme hunger for power. If he stayed at home without contesting the parliamentary election, we could have still addressed him as the former president. Now I am in a dilemma as how to address him, whether to call him ‘Manthri Thuma’ (parliamentarian), sir or former president. He is just a parliamentarian like any of us now. Other parliamentarians also call him ‘Manthri Thuma,” she said. - See more at: http://www.dailymirror.lk/88239/hirunika-s-dilemma-how-to-address-mr#sthash.riikstze.dpuf
