Colombo, Feb 1 (Daily Mirror) - Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) MP Namal Rajapaksa has accused the government of betraying young people and teachers who supported it during the period when it was in opposition.

Addressing journalists in Kamburupitiya, Rajapaksa said that despite an existing shortage of teachers and prior agreements on recruitment procedures, qualified individuals are now being denied appointments for political reasons. He claimed that many of these teachers had met the required qualifications and had even secured legal recognition for their recruitment process.

According to Rajapaksa, teachers who continued to educate students during periods of unrest are now being sidelined due to their political affiliations. He described this as part of a broader political agenda aimed at marginalizing those who do not align with the ruling party.

Be positive man. I am sure NPP is doing some thing good. The way you behave will only harm your chances - people at grass root levels know NPP is doing much better than Rajapakse at least not stealing public money. People understand things better these days, do not waste your time. Be positive and say some thing good for you.

Spin it however you like, but no amount of rhetoric will erase the fact that it will take longer than a lifetime—for the population to forget the scars your family and party carved into our country and society.
