Minister of State Shehan Semasinghe says that in the past, small government parties have been criticizing the SLPP for not starting their political career and since Pohottuwa will begin its journey for its own identity as a single party from today (09), the misrepresentations of small parties will come to an end.
“All the political parties within our government are holding their own conventions and public meetings for their own identity. His Excellency the President and the Prime Minister have not obstructed this. Also, the Sri Lanka Freedom Party held various conventions recently. It seemed to us that the purpose of those conventions was to create a platform for the opposition to continue to criticize the government. At that time it was clear that there was a discussion going on with their opposition.
Therefore, this is a rally of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna. Anyone can participate in this. There is no obstacle to it. Other political parties hold meetings for their identities and we began our journey for Pohottu’s identity. I think tomorrow will be good start. His Excellency the President and the Prime Minister are scheduled to meet in Anuradhapura on behalf of the Government. ”
Minister of State Shehan Semasinghe stated this while expressing his views to the media while organizing the rally at Salgadu Pitiya, Anuradhapura yesterday (08). The rally is scheduled to begin at 2:00 pm today.
