President Maithripala Sirisena was seen at the wedding of controversial Businessman and Sri Lankan Ambassador to Qatar A.S.P. Liyanage whose conduct has been questioned by many lawmakers. 

The wedding of which Sirisena was the Chief Guest took place at All Saints Church, in Punchi Borella, this morning. 

Health Minister and Co-Cabinet Spokesman Rajitha Senaratne, another close friend of Liyanage, also attended the event. 

Asian Mirror last week reported that President Sirisena had failed to take any action on Liyanage despite repeated calls to recall the political appointee holding a high-profile diplomatic posting. 

Several key members of the government, including Minister Harin Fernando and Deputy Minister Buddhika Pathirana, have requested President Sirisena to recall Liyanage.

Liyanage is charged with interfering in administrative activities of a Sri Lankan school in Doha. It is learnt that Liyanage has mixed up his business interests with the diplomatic posting. 

Fernando even raised the issue of Liyanage at the last Cabinet meeting and demanded the President to either "transfer or recall" the Ambassador. 

A few weeks ago, Liyanage landed in a fresh controversy when he was seen at the Qatar Airport carrying the bags of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa's two sons, Yoshitha and Rohitha who visited the country for a friendly Rugby match. 

Liyanage rushed to the airport to welcome the Rugby team breaking all diplomatic protocols and standards. 

The President's inaction on Liyanage has raised many an eyebrow as the former recalled the entire senior staff of the Sri Lankan embassy in Vienna for not answering his phone call.
