SLFP to go alone, claims Reginald died due to political pressure
The leadership of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) and the party’s politburo have unanimously decided to contest the LG polls alone and not with the helicopter symbol as decided earlier, the media secretary of the SLFP, Weerakumara Dissanayaka today said.
He also said that former SLFP minister and governor late Reginald Cooray succumbed to the distress and pressure exerted on him while preparing the nomination list of the SLFP, the media secretary of the SLFP said.
He charged that the former minister and governor, late Reginold Cooray’s untimely death was a result of the pressure, threats and distress exerted on him by the IPA when he was preparing the SLFP’s nomination list.
”They demanded 50% and 60% for them in the nomination list and we finally decided to give them the entire 100% and to go alone for the polls. It is the best solution for us as there was a conspiracy also to weaken the SLFP. Some were in a move to bury the SLFP,” he stressed. (Sandun A Jayasekera)
