Colombo, November 1 (Daily Mirror)- Condemning the statement by NPP member Lal Kantha over SJB Kandy District candidate Chamindrani Kiriella, SJB National List candidate Lihini Fernando said Lal Kantha must tender a public apology to Chamindrani in for his derogatory remarks on a woman.

She told the media that Lal Kantha had made an insulting statement about a poster put out by Chamindrani, who is contesting the general elections for the Kandy District.

"Lal Kantha made a humiliating statement in an election rally against SJB candidate Chamindrani Kiriella. He had made an insulting statement regarding her election poster. NPPers speak about feminist politics and dignity of women. We must ask those so called progressive women whether they approve of such statements," she asked.
