Leader of the 43 Brigade (43 Senankaya) Brigade MP Patali Champika Ranawaka speaking to a briefing yesterday (09) said despite their high hopes for the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) they were not fulfilled.
“We held hopes for the Samagi Jana Balawegaya on the basis that we need a political movement that recognises the local culture of this country, one that suits the educated people of this country and one that suits the new generation of young people. But everyone can see and feel that that these hopes were not fulfilled. So, we have informed in writing that we are not prepared to join the Party called Samagi Jana Balawegaya. We will be looking at the future policies of the Samagi Balawegaya, the policies they are pursuing, the actions of their party and the alliance they are building. Nevertheless, the Samagi Jana Balawegaya is not an enemy force to us, for they are our allies,” he said.
