Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa said he never approves everything done by his father, former President Ranasinghe Premadasa, merely because he was his father.
He told Parliament that he would continue only the important and positive programmes of his father and that he would reject if there had been any shortcomings on the part of his father.
"I am not a son who follows everything done by Ranasinghe Premadasa merely because he is my father. I will only continue his important and positive programmes. I will reject if there had been any shortcomings. I will never say that everything done by my father is correct. I am also an independent person," he said.
The Opposition Leader said this in response to a statement by Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardane that Ranasinghe Premadasa had sent home a large number of trade union leaders who had fought for their rights.(Ajith Siriwardana and Yohan Perera)
