Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and Leader of Opposition Sajith Premadasa were engaged in an open dialogue in Parliament yesterday for the first time after the two split giving birth to the Samagi Jana Balawegiaya(SJB),
Prime Minister Wickremesinghe who started the dialogue said in a lighter vein that the SJB was not involved in the recent violence where residences and business establishments of former Ministers and MPs were destroyed. “I don’t think the SJB was involved in the violence it does not have time for such things as they spent the whole 24 hours thinking how they could marginalize me,” the Prime Minister said.
“We don’t want to marginalize you but want to incorporate you as you are a single member of Parliament,” Premadasa said.
The Prime Minister then made a request from the Leader of the Opposition where he requested the SJB Leader to provide medicine under its Husma programme.
“ Provide us with one kind of medicine as there is a serious shortage of essential medicines in rural hospitals. There is a shortage of medicine used for heart disease and disabilities,” the Prime Minister said.
“ The Husma programme has been designed to provide life saving medical equipment and not to provide medicine. However you name a medicine you know and we will do our best to provide it. We cannot provide medicine to the whole nation but we will do out best,” Premadasa said.(Yohan Perera and Ajith Siriwardana)

The tactics of "marginalising" was practised by you and that was the very reason they came out from UNP.

It is strange that opposition party has access to medicine but not to the government. Or is it because the government is bankrupt but not the opposition party for some reasons.

He has already been marginalized by the people and ex-UNPers. He has to thank his stars for the position he is in right now.

No one needs to marginalize Ranil. His own team SLPP yesterday marginalized him and in fact they showed no confidence in him when they put forward another candidate for the Deputy Minister post. At last, Ranil who wanted a woman in that seat voted for a male for that post to save face.

When you say these things will they ever help you. You don't want their support and that is why you say these

If you were a honest politician no one will want to marginalise you, but all you sri lanka politicians are just scumbags.

SJB will do their best to marginalise RW as they know if RW succeeds in turning around the economy that is the end of SJB.

These retards should try and solve the economic crisis. Instead bickering very sad for the people.

Hey, just do not worry about being marginalised , simply because there isn't any margin left for you. Simply engage in the entrusted task of save the Horras...

The SJB need not marginalize RW. He did it himself and the people of the Colombo District did the rest!

SJB and JVP only know how to destabilize a country. They were doing it from the time this government came into power. Gotabhaya was too lienient for them.
