MPs Wimal Weerawansa, Vasudewa Nanayakkara and Athuraliye Ratana Thera, some of the most prominent political figures who held the highest powers in the Gotabaya Rajapaksa regime for almost two and a half years and pushed themselves out of it the last moment to declare themselves as ‘independent,’ today (16) headed to Hambantota Port to welcome the controversial Chinese defence vessel Yuan Wang 5.
It is common knowledge that the ten minor parties of the former regime led by Weerawansa, Nanayakkara and Ratana Thera were at the forefront when Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s administration was driven into a serious political crisis. The so called independent group is also grappling against the current regime’s attempt to seek the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) assistance to address the recession.
Conclusively, the best example of Chinese interference in Sri Lankan politics has been evident today as the three headed to Hambantota to welcome the controversial Chinese satellite observation ship.
