April 23, Colombo (LNW): In a proactive move aimed at fostering transparent and constructive political dialogue, the National People’s Power (NPP) has formally communicated with the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB), the main opposition party in Parliament, regarding the proposed debate between NPP Leader, MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake and SJB Leader, MP Sajith Premadasa.

Yesterday (22), executive member of the NPP, former MP Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa dispatched a letter to SJB Secretary General MP Ranjith Madduma Bandara, extending invitations for the debate to be held on one of the following dates: May 7, 9, 13, or 14.

The communication underscored the importance of establishing a definitive date for the debate to prevent potential misunderstandings among the public.

The NPP has expressed its readiness to engage in this critical exchange of ideas and viewpoints, highlighting the significance of transparent discourse in shaping informed public opinion.

Previously, many MPs and stalwarts of the SJB challenged the NPP to debate on which course should the JVP-led alliance take were the economic crisis facing Sri Lanka to be resolved under an NPP-rule.

The NPP awaits the prompt response of the SJB regarding their stance on the proposed debate, fostering an environment conducive to meaningful political engagement and accountability.
