MP Rohitha Abeygunawardena was critical of Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna leader Anura Kumara Dissanayaka’s recent tour of Australia, accusing the party and its membership of hypocrisy.

“If you question them, they’ll say that even the pants he was wearing were given by a brother. But I saw that he has flown business class, ” Abeygunawardena said, addressing a Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna Kesbewa electorate meeting in Piliyandala.

Abeygunawardena was among several politicians who questioned the JVP leader’s recent tour where he addressed National People’s Power (NPP) party meetings held across several cities in Australia.

“In Australia, they talk of the economic issues in Sri Lanka. But one must really calculate the damage they caused to the economy and the property destruction they caused, to ascertain the real damage, ” Abeygunawardena said accusing the JVP leader of hypocrisy.
