Colombo, November 11 (Daily Mirror)- Former TNA MP M.A. Sumanthiran alleged that President Anura Kumara Dissanayake had brought several thousands of people in buses last evening all the way to Jaffna to participate in the NPP's political rally attended by the President.

"For some strange reason President Anura Kumara Dissanayake brought a few thousand people in buses last evening all the way to Jaffna and spoke to them here, when he could have gone to their own districts and addressed them there. Travelling costs would have been much less. Stranger still, Sinhala people were given a translation of his speech in Tamil," he said, posting a message on X.
