The Samagi Jana Balawegaya has come out against an article published in the Daily Mirror today under the headline 'SJB invites Wimal, Udaya to join hands' written by Yohan Perera, stating that the party has never made such an invitation.
SJB Member Rehaan Jayawickrema even went as far as to take the matter on Twitter saying the SJB had made no such statement and what infact the General Secretary of the party said was one had to be mindful from taking anyone from the government. He even added his own twist saying the Daily Mirror had 'completely distorted the facts yet again'.
However the SJB seems to have not heard the party's own General Secretary Ranjith Madduma Bandara who told the media yesterday that the SJB extended an invitation to the 11 dissidents that included Udaya Gammanpila and Wimal Weerawansa to join the SJB against their struggle to topple the government.
Madduma Bandara said it not once but quite a few times saying they were willing to invite any members who would now end the day to day struggles and work against the government as the government had failed.
The SJB now seems to want to go back on this invitation by some members clearly having a different stance. Instead of raising it and sorting it within themselves, they have chosen to discredit the media institution and discredit the reporter.
So much for media freedom, SJB.

SJB will try to get Basil if it means that they can grab power.
Sri Wickrema Saturday, 05 March 2022 02:53 PM
Madduma Bandara should be ashamed for inviting wachala wansa

Wimale and Gamma are good actors. I am 99% sure their drama is to pacify the agitation of the Lankan peasants who are on the verge of all out starvation.

After reading the statement looks more like asking them to work against the government rather than join them.

Well done Daily Mirror!

I am not a SJB supporter, but 'joining a party' and 'joining fight against struggle' are clearly two different things

Why SJB wants to admit these rogues into their party shows the level of their bankruptcy
Upali Saturday, 05 March 2022 03:58 PM
SJB does not know where do they stand, Just carrying out propaganda making use of the present situation with world wide economic recession and making contradictory statements,

No wonder SJB chased away by ranil is totally confused just like mantaley Sajith koheda yanney malle pol so do the members

It appears all have got the message wrong. Invitation probably was to join their struggle to topple the govt and not to join as SJB members, which will be SJB downfall.
sam Saturday, 05 March 2022 04:30 PM
Surely they were invited to assist topple the govt, which is not possible.

Spot on Daily Mirror. Well done.

All of you are the same. Rotten to the word.
Modara T Saturday, 05 March 2022 07:42 PM
All, SLFR, UNP, SLPP etc. are bunch of rogues, only there to enjoy the fruits of power and protecting each other. Srilanka needs an alternate party with honest people. Not this family politics, of father son, uncle nephew

They are to join Ranil as he is an international expert in every aspect and he is all in one.
