Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) founder Basil Rajapaksa says he has not read the recently launched book by his brother Gotabaya Rajapaksa, which outlines the reasons for his ousting from Sri Lanka’s Presidency.

Speaking during a television talk show, Basil Rajapaksa said he had not received a copy of the book from his brother nor a digital copy and was not interested in purchasing a copy or reading the book as well.

Responding to queries on the book, Rajapaksa revealed he was aware of his brother collecting details for the book, adding that he had also heard from others certain details in the book, but had not read it yet. 

However, Basil Rajapaksa refused claims that he was furious over the content of the book, stating that they were merely rumours.

Questioned about his relationship with Gotabaya Rajapaksa and if there was any animosity between the two, Basil Rajapaksa said they were on talking terms for necessary matters. (NewsWire)
