Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Colombo District candidate  Charith Abeysinghe who described the social media report on his  imprisonment in the UK as an act of mudslinging said he had lodged a  complaint with the Election Commission.  

He accused the ruling National People’s Power (NPP) of slinging mud at him over social media.    

“This is third-class politics of NPP,” he told Daily Mirror.   

Much was said about the SJB candidate over social media,  while wide publicity was given to his recent comments during a TV show  on providing weapons to MPs. Abeysinghe said weapons given to MPs ensuring their security is not a luxury. “One’s security has become an  important factor today,” he said during this talk show.
