The entire country should come together and support all transparent quarantine activities, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Leader Sajith Premadasa said yesterday.

“This is a time when the entire nation should come forward together," he said.

“No one should get frightened but should do their part to see the nation through from this crisis,” he added.

At the same time, Mr Premadasa said the nation should use this crisis as an opportunity to see that the county would be in a better position than it was before the COVID-19 hit the nation.

Mr Premadasa had also signed the nomination papers yesterday, sources said.

Dear Hon. Premadasa People are together. Please demonstrate your agility as a leader and get all political party leaders to one platform to support the incumbent President in this fight. All this time rest of the politicos has only been finding fault. There may be shortcomings tell that to them but motivate the populace by demonstrating solidarity as a Sri Lankan

Who will be your Health minister if elected? We dont want jokers like Pavithra and Raajitha but a knowledgeable tough administrator.
