Namal Denies Meeting with Sajith Premadasa

COLOMBO (News 1st); Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna MP Namal Rajapaksa says that claims by Presidential Advisor Ashu Marasinghe suggesting an alleged meeting between him and Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa are completely false. 

He said that No such meeting took place, and he has no reason to meet Premadasa.

On Thursday (2), Prof. Ashu Marasinghe, the President's Advisor on Parliamentary Affairs, commented on growing social media controversy involving alleged discussions between two prominent political figures, Sajith Premadasa and Namal Rajapaksa.

Speaking on the matter, Prof. Marasinghe stated, "A hot topic on social media these days is a discussion between two sons, Sajith Premadasa and Namal Rajapaksa. Sajith Premadasa no longer uses the phrase 'Rajapaksa gang of thieves.' You can verify this in the hansard. We've also heard rumors about these meetings. Some MPs have informed us that these two young leaders are meeting frequently in Colombo."
