Should contest separately ; Basil adamant

Should contest separately ; Basil adamant Featured

MP Basil Rajapaksa is adamant that the next General election should not be contested under the ticket of an alliance led by President Maithripala Sirisena but should be contested under a separate party led by Mahinda Rajapaksa.
Basil, who is currently in remand custody, has conveyed this to several of his affiliates who had visited him.
 
Noting that investigations have even been launched against his wife on the influence of a government bigwig, Basil has added that the former first lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa has been summoned to the FCID on June 01 to obtain a statement.
 
Vasu's protest
However, MP Vasudeva Nanayakkara, a staunch supporter of the movement pushing to bring in Mahinda Rajapaksa as the next Prime Minister, recently stated in public that former minister Basil Rajapaksa and former Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa should not be brought into politics again.
