Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) National Organiser Basil Rajapaksa today resigned from his post and notified his decision to party General Secretary Anura Priyadarshana Yapa, sources close to him said.

Mr. Rajapaksa, who headed the presidential election campaign of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, said he accepted full responsibility for his brother’s defeat at the January 8 election.

In his letter to Mr. Yapa, he had also mentioned that he would sit in Parliament as a backbencher of the United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA). (Kelum Bandara)

These are the self-seeking rogues who masqueraded as "patriots" to hoodwink the people thereby looting and filling their pockets.

People with PR VISA or Dual Citizenship in another country should not be allowed to do politics in Sri Lanka. They come to earn money in illegal way and ruined this country.
