Brother of Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, Minister Chamal Rajapaksa earlier today admitted that the Prime Minister had undergone a surgery which is why he was unable to attend a public event in Gampola today.

The Daily Mirror reported on Wednesday that Prime Minister Rajapaksa had undergone a spinal surgery at the Nawaloka Hospital earlier this week and was under rest.

However this was denied by Sports Minister Namal Rajapaksa who said yesterday that media reports of his father undergoing a surgery were untrue and he infact went to hospital to see another patient and not his father.

However Minister Chamal Rajapaksa, speaking at a function in Gampola earlier today said that the Prime Minister was unable to attend that particular function as he was under rest following a surgery.

The Prime Minister had undergone a spinal surgery which was performed by UK orthopedic surgeon Dr. Hilali Noordeen and is said to be recovering well and under rest.

contradictory statements from son and brother. How can people trust these families.

Mahila Friday, 28 January 2022 01:55 AM

Pathetic situation. The future PM was probably going to see a friend in Nawaloka and who may have been in Hospital at the same time!! Namal must give the details of the friend to overcome misconception.

Vince Friday, 28 January 2022 10:39 AM

Chamal probably found out through the news just like the rest of us considering how poorly they all communicate with each other! Typical sl family...looks united but everyone working unto their own ends.

Duplicate Ralahami Friday, 28 January 2022 01:17 PM
