Ranil, Sajith conspire to forestall Gota from presidency- Dullas
Referring to the petition filed against recognising Gotabaya Rajapaksa as a Sri Lankan citizen, Mr. Rajapaksa's Spokesperson MP Dullas Alahapperuma said Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and the UNP presidential candidate Sajith Premadasa were conspiring to prevent Gotabaya from contesting the presidential polls.
Addressing a news briefing, he said the relevant petition had been filed by two NGO activists under the patronage of Premier Wickremesinghe and Sajith Premadasa and added the duo were loyal to Premier Wickremesinghe and were maintaining links with him.
“It is apparent and clear that there is an ongoing political coup to prevent Gotabaya from entering to the battlefield of the presidency.
It is highly unethical and unfair to do so in a situation where the process of taking in the renunciation of the US citizenship and obtaining the Sri Lankan citizenship and passport are constitutionally and technically correct,” MP Alahapperuma said.
Meanwhile, MP Keheliya Rambukwella said the incumbent government had attempted to manipulate high judicial officers like former Bribery Commission Director-General Dilrukshi Dias Wickramasinghe and former Solicitor General (SG) Suhada Gamalath for the sake of political expediency.
Referring to the discussion held between President Maithripala Sirisena and the UNP officials including UNP presidential candidate Sajith Premadasa recently, MP Susil Premajayantha said it was clear that the UNP had found it extremely hard to face the presidential battle that they seemed to be begging the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) for support.
