When contacted Wimal Weerawansa’s secretary confirmed to Ada Derana that the minister was invited for the prestigious Lakshman Kadirgamar Memorial Lecture and he will be participating.

 

At a press conference held on December 2, Weerawansa claimed that Britain was a failed state that could not even provide adequate security to a visiting leader of a foreign nation. On December 3 Weerawansa led a protest march up to the British High Commission over the incident where due to alleged security concerns surrounding President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s visit to the UK the Oxford Union cancelled the President’s scheduled speech.
