113 parliamentarians of Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) have written to the President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to appoint the party’s National Organizer and his younger brother Basil Rajapaksa as a SLPP National List MP and offer him a suitable Cabinet Minister post.
The letter signed by 113 cabinet ministers, state ministers and parliamentarians of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna was handed over to the President recently, Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna MP Jagath Kumara told Dinamina.
MP Jagath Kumara said he told the President that Basil Rajapaksa, as a person who made a great contribution to the formation of the SLPP, continuing without representation in parliament is an obstacle to future development.
Mr. Jagath Kumara said that the President had responded positively to the request made by his group and that there had not been as much opposition from Basil Rajapaksa’s side as before and hoped that it would be fulfilled soon.
