Sarva Jana Balawegaya Leader MP Dilith Jayaweera vowed to defeat the government at the first opportunity.

Addressing Parliament Jayaweera condemned the National People’s Power party, alleged that the Seethawaka Pradeshiya Sabha Councillor Chandana Mudunkotuwa had been ‘bought’.

“Is this the change you want for democracy? Is this the pure political culture you wished to create?” He questioned.

Jayaweera vowed that the NPP government will be sent home at the first opportunity they receive.

The MP was referring to the NPP securing control of the Seethawaka Pradeshiya Sabha today, more than six months after the Local Government election.

Although the NPP won 23 seats in May, no party achieved a clear majority, delaying the selection of a Chairman through two postponed meetings.

When the council reconvened today, the NPP and one opposition member supported holding a secret ballot. (Newswire)

Leader of Sarvajana Balaya and Member of Parliament Dilith Jayaweera accused the government of using loopholes in the law to deceive the public.

“The public are waiting to see if the President will arrest former President Ranil Wickremsinghe, Basil Rajapaksa or Namal Rajapaksa. Instead the government is moving to apprehend politicians of their own economic background,” he said addressing a media briefing.

“Were the public waiting for Chamara Sampath to be arrested? People are waiting for Ranil Wickremsinghe to be arrested!” Jayaweera said.

“Will he be arrested? That is our question. They will not even touch Haamu Mahaththaya” Jayaweera said referring to Wickrmesinghe.

Responding to questions about the sentencing of S. M. Ranjith, a member of the Sarvajana Balaya on corruption charges, Jayaweera said that his party bears no responsibility to this incident.

“We regret this incident. But we take no responsibility for it,” he said.

“As far as I know, this case was filed during the Yahapalana government,” Jayaweera said, adding that both the rule of law and the effectiveness of law enforcement had deteriorated during that period. (Newswire)
