Former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa will decide whether he will engage in politics or not, MP Namal Rajapaksa said.
“It is the former president who should decide what he will do in the future. We should let him decide whether he wants to engage in politics or not. We don't have the right to take decisions for others," he said.
Commenting on the return of the former president from Thailand, the MP said, “unfortunately he left the country, but he has returned now. And that's his right to live as a citizen in the country. We always believe Sri Lanka is a democratic country," he said.
He said they would inform the party's executive council once the former president makes his decision.(DSB)

Srilanka is not your personal property. People are put into this crisis situation because of your family. Are you all not intelligent enough to think what people are thinking of your family dynasty. Can you walk along in any parts of Srilanka without security personnel.

He has no Immunity Now, so he can do it before moving on and his credibility has a chance to regain??!!

GR could of course slap Namal, Will Smith style for this talk. But really someone like Namal is not going to learn. He has been recorded showing he believes the general public is forgetfully foolish and will soon not keep in mind about past wrongs, and again vote for the worst people. This is him keeping up with the pointless talk.
