Colombo, May 09 (Daily Mirror) - Former State Minister Diana Gamage, whose parliamentary seat was recently declared illegal by the Supreme Court over her citizenship issue, expressed her determination to return to the political arena.

"I am coming back to politics. I will not leave the country," Gamage asserted, dismissing any notion of retreat despite the legal setback.

Emphasizing her adherence to the law, Gamage told a news briefing today (09) that “I respect the law. However, I will prove my innocence," she affirmed.

Gamage also accused the opposition leader of lacking respect for women.

Despite the legal and personal challenges she faces, Gamage pledged her ongoing support for Ranil Wickremesinghe's political journey, indicating her commitment to the political faction led by Wickremesinghe.

    Have your Sri Lankan Citizenship only, woman, and let go of others, if you want to serve the country.

    Shera Thursday, 09 May 2024 11:44 PM

    If there is proof of foreign citizenship then how do you prove yourself innocent? Might as well gracefully bow out.

    Jude Friday, 10 May 2024 01:18 AM

    Yeah you can come back for sure, this is the miracle of Asia. Anything is possible, huh.

    Jude Friday, 10 May 2024 01:33 AM

    You have to come back otherwise Sajith is screwed yeah he doesn't have a party and there's not enough time to register a political party.

    Jude Friday, 10 May 2024 02:18 AM

    These statements of Diana arising out of anger and hatred towards her opponents. Therefore, people should disregard her voice. I suggest her to observe the five precepts of Lord Buddha 's teaching. Also need an anger management to prevent further eruptions.

    Change the law to allow all dual citizenship people to contest election, do business; run offices; apply for jobs in sri lanka and do all kind of works and have all equal rights .??? If not what the point jn having it ...why didn't you do it while you were in this post .

    Ignatius Friday, 10 May 2024 05:35 AM

    Easy. Just renounce your British connection. You cannot have both. I am a Australian citizen. I care about Sri Lanka but cannot/will not renounce my connecion.

    Balla Donkey Friday, 10 May 2024 06:17 AM

    This is Sri Lanka

    CitizenP Friday, 10 May 2024 06:27 AM

    Her attempt may be successful, because this is Srilanka.

    Jude Friday, 10 May 2024 06:51 AM

    Anything is possible Diana, if a American can become the president in The miracle of Asia, so a Brit have chance too!!

    ACA Friday, 10 May 2024 07:29 AM

    Please payback all money and benefits taken as MP and state minister first.

    Sambo Friday, 10 May 2024 07:42 AM

    Please do. You are most welcome. We need people who talks straight and with a spine in parliament. Right now they speak behind the back.

    sam Friday, 10 May 2024 08:35 AM

    You are a innocent British citizen

    A pipe dream - but with political patronage and memory lapses of the masses all things become possible !

    We got to know now itself you have spent 12.5 million to your Lawyers to win all the cases in favour of you. Nothing happened, sorry Duwa get back to UK without involving politics.

    Robbert Schockman Friday, 10 May 2024 12:22 PM

    I will challenge you, you will never come again to the Parliament because of your pride and indecent acts. First learn to talk decently like a women. You are not a Man is that so?

    Julian Arasaratnam (Retired Snr. Lawyer) Friday, 10 May 2024 01:14 PM

    Better you go to a Home for Elders and rest rather than worrying too much about you. Now that is the right place for people like you. President Ranil Wickramasinghe cannot help you as he will adhere to the judgement.

    Wiraj Friday, 10 May 2024 01:20 PM

    Just get lost you loser. You were an unprincipled and ungrateful loose-tongued nitwit, who crossed over to Gota's camp for money, within days after being nominated as a MP.

    Lucky Friday, 10 May 2024 05:11 PM

    There's a vacancy for a cleaner in the Parliament canteen.

    S.K Kumara Saturday, 11 May 2024 05:41 AM

    Hookers aren't allowed. I come back or I scum-bag ?
