Highlighting some of the main events that SLFP had to face during last few decades, Mr. Rajapaksa explained how he fought to protect his party men from several accusations, when the party was in the opposition.

“It is the prime responsibility of the SLFP to protect the other affiliated political parties, which were behind the SLFP all the time,” the letter said adding that “as such the SLFP as a party should always there to protect the party and its members whenever they were under threat.”

“I firmly believed that the newly elected President of the SLFP, MaithripalaSirisena and other office bearers will take the responsibility of protecting the party as well as its members.

I can bear the continuous threat, insults and sidelining me from both inside and outside, as a person, who able to stand against the world’s ruthless terrorists as well as the international conspiracies,” he stated.

Former President should understand that not only SLFP, any party has no obligation and right to protect partymen who break the law of the land. That is the greatest mistake he made during his regime and he should not advocate the new President to follow the same line of action which is self destructive. Ranjith
