Namal Rajapaksa, Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs says that if the policies of the present government do not suit the Sri Lanka Freedom Party, they should leave the government with dignity.
“I saw in the media that the leaders of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party were expressing their views on various issues. I think it would be better to go to the party leaders’ meeting without talking about them from place to place. People do not need to be inconvenienced. The people then voted for them to implement these policies. In the end, those policies are not implemented – because some of them are in the cabinet. The SLFP also represents our cabinet, there are state ministers and the government. So if they think they are not responsible for certain decisions, only others are responsible for it, it is wrong. The SLPP and the UPFA are responsible for every decision of this government. Because we as a government have a collective responsibility. As a cabinet we have a collective responsibility. If those policies do not suit the SLFP in any way, or if they are asking for other policies, so it would be better to leave in a dignified manner at the party leadership meeting without talking about those things elsewhere. ”
Minister Namal Rajapaksa stated this while answering several questions raised by journalists yesterday (12).
