Deputy Minister Prasanna Gunasena has challenged SLPP MP Namal Rajapaksa to “bring Basil Rajapaksa back to the country” if possible, claiming that recent court developments have intensified pressure on members of the Rajapaksa family.
Speaking at a public event, Gunasena said there had been strong claims in the past that no action could be taken against the Rajapaksas regardless of the allegations levelled against them.
Referring to a recent court order, the Deputy Minister alleged that several legal cases are pending and claimed that the public had already delivered its verdict against what he described as a “corrupt administration” during the Presidential and General Elections.
Gunasena also claimed that action would be taken against those accused of corruption in the period ahead. (Newswire)
