Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa says the upcoming anti-government rally in Nugegoda on November 21 aims to remind the government of the promises it made to the people.
Addressing the media after a meeting at former President Ranil Wickremesinghe’s party office on Flower Road, Colombo, Rajapaksa said that several opposition parties are participating in the discussions.
“In the past, discussions were held within the SLPP, but today we met with the United National Party (UNP) to ensure the success of the rally,” he said.
He added that the rally is intended to hold the government accountable and encourage it to act on its commitments. “Many people affected by government policies will join the rally,” he said.
Accordingly, the SLFP and UNP have agreed to participate, while other parties are expected to confirm their involvement after internal deliberations. (Newswire)
