Parliament, Dec. 13 (Daily Mirror)- The International Monetary Fund (IMF) deal will be renegotiated under a future Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) government, Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa said today.

He told Parliament that they would reach an agreement with the IMF so as not to burden the people.

"We are going to renegotiate the IMF deal," he said.

The Opposition Leader said this while responding to a question by State Minister of Finance Shehan Semasinghe, who asked whether the SJB wanted the support of the IMF.
