SLPP General Secretary Sagara Kariyawasam refuted reports that plans were afoot to appoint former president Mahinda Rajapaksa as the Prime Minister.
He told a news conference that if Mahinda Rajapaksa is to be brought in as the Prime Minister, then he would be brought in with the blessings of the people and not in secret with heavy security in place.
"A baseless news is being spread that there is a plan to bring in Mahinda Rajapaksa as the new Prime Minister and hence heavy security is in place in Colombo. Some politically bankrupt people are spreading this news to gain cheap publicity,” he said.(Ajith Siriwardana)
