MR will rectify wrong decision: Semasinghe

Colombo, July 30 (Daily Mirror)- Claiming that the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) has taken a decision going against the majority opinion of the party, State Minister Shehan Semasinghe said today they hope that former President Mahinda Rajapaksa will rectify the wrong decision taken for the need of a handful of people.

He told a news conference held in Colombo that the decision to field a separate candidate by the SLPP was taken on a personal agenda.

"The SLPP was formed based on Mahinda Rajapaksa. We all contributed to the formation of the party. The SLPP is not a party formed by the MPs who took the decision not to support the President. I believe that former President Mahinda Rajapaksa will rectify the wrong decision," he said.
