Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) stalwart Waruna Rajapaksha has fiercely rebutted criticisms leveled against party leader Sajith Premadasa, who has been accused of political inactivity and “sleeping.” Rajapaksha’s sharp remarks were directed at Priyanjith Vitharana (blogger “Rate Rala”), a former member of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP), the National People’s Power’s predecessor.
In a video statement, Rajapaksha questioned Vitharana’s proposal to unite with individuals like Udaya Gammanpila, who have been associated with spreading racist ideologies such as the “Womb War.” Rajapaksha emphasized that the SJB cannot align with individuals who hold such stances without first apologizing for their past wrongs.
The InfoSriLanka.lk editorial board commends Mr. Waruna Rajapaksha for his forthright statement and expresses its disdain for Mr. Priyanjith Vitharana.
