NPP refutes President visiting ’’Puwakdandawe Sana’s’’ home

Colombo, October 3 (Daily Mirror) - Refuting allegations by former MP Wimal Weerawansa, the National People's Power (NPP) said that the NPP has no political connection with recently arrested "Puwakdandawe Sana" as claimed by Weerawansa.

Deputy Minister Ruwan Senarath told the media that Weerawansa claimed the President had meals at the so called person's house when the President visited the South recently.

He said the President or any NPP leader had not visited that persons house or had meals as claimed by Weerawansa and added that the NPP will take legal action against Weerawansa for making misleading and false statements.
