Legal action threatened against misuse of SLFP name

Date:

August 05, Colombo (LNW): Senior Vice President of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), Minister Mahinda Amaraweera, has announced plans for legal action against those misusing the party’s name to deceive supporters.

Speaking at a meeting in Agunakolapelessa, Amaraweera emphasised that the legal rights to the SLFP belong to his faction.

He accused individuals like Dayasiri Jayasekara and Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe, who lack legal rights to the party, of falsely claiming to be the general secretary and chairman, respectively, and declaring support for the Samagi Jana Balawegaya in the upcoming Presidential Election.

He highlighted that the court has prohibited these individuals from interfering in party affairs, thereby stripping them of any legal right to use the SLFP’s name or positions to mislead members.

Consequently, legal proceedings are being initiated against them.
