Women brought to support Jalani Premadasa remain clueless as to why they gathered

• I don’t know why I’m here. They asked us to come, we came

A large group of women who gathered in Colombo in support of Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa’s wife Jalani Premadasa said they had no idea as to why they had gathered in Colombo.  

The women representing Colombo North said they had gathered to protest against a mud-slinging campaign against Mrs Premadasa.  

However, most elderly women in the group appeared to be clueless as to why they had gathered in Colombo. “I don’t know why I’m here. They asked us to come, we came,” one woman said when questioned by reporters.
