My extended family have nothing to do with SLPP: MR
Colombo, Jan 6 (Daily Mirror) - Former President and Leader of the SLPP, Mahinda Rajapaksa said that his extended family members had nothing to do with the SLPP nor were they part of any political decisions and the public should not get misled by unwanted remarks made against the party.
Following Rajapaksa’s extended family members making statements on the internal matters of the party, Rajapaksa said that political decisions would be conveyed to the public only through party seniors and not extended family members.
“We are not responsible for any of my relative’s comments, and it is unfair to go interview them,” Rajapaksa said.
“I urge the public not to get misled by unwanted comments,” he added.
On the economic front, Rajapaksa said that his party was against the high taxes being imposed on the public and said his party would continue to work towards providing relief to the people.

Has he deserted the SLPP? As the leader he should warn his politicians not to make statements on the run I believe their members now in wilderness. Aragalaya did lot of good things to turn the ground up side down

there are groups local and international vilifying Rajapkse family for thei role in liberating(with the help of the valiant armed forces forces for rescuing the country from terrorist. Ideally Mahinda should have left politics after he had done the job...he mistakenly belived that exploit his popularity in staying in dirty politics,he would have been remembered for his good deeds but its somewhat tarnished

Providing relief to public- My Foot. It is only the Rajapaksha clan that brought this economic misery to SL by looting the nation dry and total failure in managing the economy. This failure and looting by the family is what has led to higher taxes

You still have a good chance of returning to power with the blessing of uneducated hapless srilankan voters. Once in power the same cycle will begin. Your extended family of mental retards including the dumb retard BR will screw up in no time and the same ordinary fools who voted for slpp will suffer again.

Always MR has disowned what he initiated and conveniently pass the buck to others. Only when it comes to bouquets he will take the credit which he has not earned but the brickbats he distributes among those who were never involved in these decisions. How can one say that his extended family have not be a part of the decisions taken on behalf of the SLPP when they openly give their shit to the media taking everyone for a ride. Your pretense in everything you do and your extended family are doing is short lived!!!!!!!!

Request to all :Be honest to yourself and accept the reality Saturday, 06 January 2024 02:54 PM
Every worthless man is trying to put every miserable thing to MR's account. It s not only him responsible for the current state but all after independence. So far MR has been the best one who had left a remarkable transition in our country freeing us from here. I know a lot of exaggerations happen to make him guilty, but truth will rise above all with time to come in future. We salute you

Mahinda Mama, could you please tell us where you will get money to provide us with relief. How could any government generate income to run the country. If the security provided you and your brother Gota is slashed we can save some money. Tell your son Namal baby to thing and talk. He is talking rubbish.

Because this family and their extended relatives, IMF is down here trying to make us start up palm oil plantations. In a few decades we're going to experience the worst drought ever. We have been importing many items in the past, so that somebody can mint money off us, items which were readily available locally. Now we can't import water like fools. Price of water will be so high that our wildlife will perish when we take over most of the sources.
