Vasudeva denies death rumour, cites political motive
Former Minister Vasudeva Nanayakkara yesterday (15) refuted false social media reports claiming he had died, saying the rumour had led to a flood of phone calls from concerned individuals.
“They even included my birth year and the current year. At first, I just laughed,” Nanayakkara said at a media briefing.
He said further inquiry suggested the post may have been politically motivated. “When I looked into it, I saw the name ‘National People’s Power’ above the post. That led me to believe it was created by someone opposing the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna or the National People’s Power,” he added.
Commenting on his political future, Nanayakkara said that while he no longer has the capacity to contest elections, he has no intention of stepping away from politics.
“Politicians don’t retire until death. My goal is to overcome attacks from right-wing groups, to advance leftist political ideals, strengthen my party, and help build a united leftist movement in this country,” he said.
