Don’t demand Opposition leader post-President



President Maitripala Sirisena yesterday told a group of SLFPers that they could sit with the opposition but should not demand the post of Opposition Leader in Parliament.

Addressing SLFP parliamentarians at the President House, the President said he would inform the SLFP General Secretary about those who chose to sit with the opposition.

“You may criticize the projects brought in by the government, but only those that would be detrimental for the country,” he said.

At least twenty nine SLFP members were present at yesterday’s meeting, including Dullus Allahpperuma, Bandula Gunawardena, Pavithra Wanniarachchi, Mahindananda Aluthgamage, Prasanna Ranatunga and Rohitha Abeygunawardena. (Ajantha Kumara Agalakada)
