Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe has issued a 19-second special video message to his supporters who stood by him during his recent arrest and remand.
In his video message, Ranil Wickremesinghe expressed gratitude to all his supporters, including those online.
“I thank all those who stood by me, including those online, during my arrest. I intend to meet all of you on a future date. Thank you again,” he said.
Ranil Wickremesinghe was arrested and remanded over the use of Rs. 16.9 million in state funds for an overseas trip to the United Kingdom in 2023, allegedly to attend the graduation ceremony of his wife.
He was, however, granted bail after having been placed in remand custody for four days. (Newswire)
