Nothing wrong, except that she has denied going to see him. If it is proved on CCTV that she has in fact gone to see RW, then her credibility is in serious jeorpardy.

Who cares if she went to see him cos theirs absolutely nothing wrong. She is a public figure and will be scrutinised at all times, Harini stop being a drama queen and get on with the job. You need to be thick skinned ignore social media. The country wants you and the rest of the government to succeed so just get on with it.

These officers seems to have enough time to investigate useless cases but no time to investigate into container fraud and fake degree of Ranwala. Lol

What is wrong in visiting a patient at the Hospital? Politicians are not enemies they are only in different teams.

Accountability is very important to all media companies, if they are not it’s the governments responsibility to make them accountable.

What's wrong visiting him in hospital? In Sri Lanka, we go to the birthday parties, funerals of the opposition party members and we all know each other. By the way, our judiciary is independent and Attorney General decides the indictments and bail outs. Ranil's arrest has nothing to do with Harini or AKD. Ask Ranil judiciary works in Sri Lanka and he knows better than me and you.

Isnt this a bloody joke? Lets assume the PM has visited RW at the hospital, what's wrong with it? Just because both represent two political parties, cant they have a friendship over politics? This is unacceptable and part of the govt's running theory! Hatred, hatred and more hatred! Shame on you the NPP.

Is there a law that the PM can't visit an ex-president from the opposition in hospital? PM should not bother to respond to petty social media allegations. So much work to be done these are just distractions.

A visit just to say Just to say "Thank You Mr. Ranil" Thursday, 28 August 2025 09:56 PM

May be the Prime Minister Harini did not forget the support Ranil gave to NPP/JVP before the election by requesting UNP voters to vote for Anura and not to vote for Sajith. I remember these two names were mentioned specifically by Ranil.

It is widely believed that the opposition has little chance of securing power through a legitimate election overseen by the Election Commission. This may explain why opposition parties are engaging in disruptive rhetoric, which critics say is an attempt to mislead the general public.
