He will question National Peoples Power (NPP) candidate Anura Kumara Dissanayake at all rallies till he responds, President Ranil Wickremesinghe said today.

"I questioned Anura whether he will tender an apology to the people in the North for threatening them. I heard that he has responded to this remark of mine which I made in Jaffna. I have also heard that he has fallen ill. I wish him a speedy recovery," Wickremesinghe told an election rally in Welimada today.

"Sunil Handunetti has said an NPP government will set up export processing zones and will promote exports. However, Anura's manifesto says an NPP government will abolish free trade agreements which Sri Lanka has already entered into. How can you develop exports without free trade agreements? I want Anura to respond to this question. I will raise these questions at all rallies till he responds to me," he added.

The whole country is asking you about the Central Bank robbery, answer that question first. We cannot have a crook as a President.

President Wickremasinghe has answered this question so many times.The commission appointed by President Maithripala Sirisena, headed by Justice Chitrasiri exhonerated RW of all wrongdoing in this case. This was a controversy generated by President Sirisena as a prelude to dismissing RW as PM and installing MR in that position. However much it is explained it does not peneterate the skulls of people like you.

@Bank Robber - Dear Bank Robber, for your kind information, already the Central Bank froze the amount of rupees one billion belonging to Perpatual Treasury. Now you must ask former award winning Finance Minister how he entered into an unknown apartment at Crescat Residencies.

True, RW is highly worried and scared about the victory of AKD and jabbering nonsense in all the meetings he holds. He had become a Lunatic.

Why should anyone answer your questions? Who are you to ask questions, when you are a failed old man, trying to recover by fooling the voters. Bank robber, you are gone for ever and, go to hell. The Tamil people are with AKD. God bless him as God is with him.

What about answering the questions of why you never took steps while president to bring perpetrators of the bond scam before justice? Why on arrival visa issuing was given to a foreign company that is very expensive while the existing system had no issues? Why you decided to buy wind powered energy for double the cost compared to what the local competitors were offering?

Kumari Sen Sunday, 08 September 2024 09:17 PM

Ranil You have the temerity to ask Anura questions when there are questions the ordinary voters have been asking you for years. Why not answer questions like- who are culprits of the Bond Scam, who brought the new chaotic visa system, who is benefitting from selling wind energy to Adani? We, the voters need answers to the above questions. Hopefully, citizens will comprehensively defeat you once again at the election and eliminate the national list system. You can then go back to watching Netflix.

Jayantha Lanerolle Sunday, 08 September 2024 09:35 PM

FFS! Why don't these jokers focus on their policies and discuss the solutions they have for the issues SL is facing/will face? Instead they pounce on the opportunity to criticise other candidates. Highlight your strengths. Not criticise the opponents weaknesses. Because if you win, it is the winner's policies that would matter.

Thats fine . Now answer one question. When government officers fought for Rs10.000/- your finance ministry secretary told that VAT has to be increased to pay for a salary hike. Now please ask the the same person to explain how to manage your salary hike of Rs.25,000/-.....hic...hic....hic...

Not AKD, you must take apology from whole nation for putting up fire to most valuable library in the south Asia in 1981, which ultimately led for a 30years long war.

AKD tried to gain power by not following traditional politicians but he understood that it does not work here. So he has become cunning like other politicians and tries to gain power by telling anything that please the people.

Ranil, admit that the Bond Scam happened during your Yahapalana govt you connived with Anju Mahendran and Aloysius and robbed the country Millions. When Gota won the elections, Mahinda covered you in return for the favour you did for him for corrupted deals he signed to the detrimental of our beloved country. Your deal with Mahinda " you scratch my back and I will scratch yours". Therefore, all the previous corrupted politicians like you and your supporters should be defeated and sent home. People now want Anura to send you guys to prison to spend rest of your life there.
