The All-Party Conference called in by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa is set to be held on March 23 and every political party and group representing Parliament have been invited to attend the event.
However, many political parties have already concluded not to attend the President’s All-Party Conference in what they claimed as the government’s attempt to cover up its mistakes.
The National People’s Power (NPP) yesterday declared that it will not be attending the President’s conference and many parties of the 11 minor parties of the government also declared that they will not be sitting for the event.
Only the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), the Lanka Sama Samaja Party and MP Athuraliye Ratana Thero of the 11 minor parties of the government have agreed to attend the conference. The National Freedom Front (NFF) aka the Jathika Nidahas Peramuna and the Pivithuru Hela Urumaya had initially declared their action of boycotting the event.
The Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) the main Opposition party is yet to declare its decision on the President’s All-Party Conference. Accordingly, the SJB is set to convene a meeting with its Parliamentary group tomorrow and conclude their decision, reports said.
