Many people are talking about whether Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who returned to Sri Lanka, will continue to engage in active politics. In a press conference held recently, Podujana Peramuna MPs stated that they would give their utmost support if Rajapaksa comes to Parliament and becomes the Prime Minister.
However, it is reported that there has been no discussion regarding the future political affairs of the former president or his accession to parliament.
Meanwhile, Podujana Peramuna’s National List MP Seetha Arambepola has told the media that she is ready to give up her MP position if Gotabhaya Rajapaksa intends to come to Parliament. However, the MP also mentions that such a request has not been made by the party or Rajapaksa.
Arambepola further states that the story of the former president coming to Parliament is a false news spread through social media.
