Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa has said that he would have not refused to accept the post of Prime Minister unless the people demanded that the President resign and at least a specific period be announced for his resignation.
Sajith Premadasa has stated this in a reply to a letter sent by President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa on May 12.
In his letter, Sajith Premadasa has clarified and recalled the discussions held between the President’s representatives and his representatives regarding the formation of a new government by assuming the office of Prime Minister.
The Leader of the Opposition has also stated in the letter that no one from the Samagi Jana Balawegaya will participate in the cabinet to be formed by the government which is already being formed outside the public opinion.
