Thamilini was released because she is to contest the elections under the Sri Lanka Freedom Party, UNP MP Ravi Karunanayake charged today (June 27).

 

Speaking at a press briefing held today in Colombo, the UNP MP stated that any criminal could cling onto the ‘Satakaya’ and save themselves.

 

He said that there were several views within the government regarding the 13thamendment and that this had caused an internal split within the party while he demanded that the government announce their stand on the matter clearly before the elections in the Northwestern, Central and Northern provinces.

 

Karunanayake added that he had read a news story of the President being at the opening of eight latrines and that this was not development work.
