Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa recently underwent surgery at a private hospital in Colombo for a long-standing knee ailment. Sources indicate this was the second such procedure, with the other knee being operated on previously. He is recuperating and is expected to resume regular activities within a few days.
Meanwhile, sources close to the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) report an impending arrest of a prominent member of the Rajapaksa family within the next two days. Discussions suggest this action is linked to ongoing investigations into a controversial shipment of organic fertilizer from China during the previous administration. Several individuals have already provided statements in connection with the probe, which centers on allegations of significant financial irregularities in the procurement of the fertilizer shipment.
