President’s fifty-year milestone in journey with law

At a gala event at the Shangri La Hotel in Colombo, President Ranil Wickremesinghe was felicitated last evening in completing 50 years since taking oaths as a lawyer. Speaking at the occasion, the President said he practised law for five years and then joined the ‘chambers’ of President J.R. Jayewardene, where he then became a lawmaker. Picture shows the President last night in a good mood with his wife Professor Maithri Wickramasinghe.
