The SJB will not allow anyone to make Sri Lanka a playing field in geopolitics, Leader of Opposition Sajith Premadasa said yesterday. 

 Premadasa made this remark after donating medical equipment to Castle Hospital last afternoon. 


" We wonder how the ship with Chinese fertilizer infiltrated Sri Lankan waters. How did it enter Sri Lanka in an illegal manner? SJB will never allow anyone to engage in such activities in the future. We will not allow anyone to make Sri Lanka a playing field of players in the geopolitical games," he said. 


He said SJB is a party that had embraced a middle path rather than embracing extreme socialism, being extreme conservative, or being neo-liberal. " We believe in social democracy," he said.
