Sources add that in the current political backdrop, Chamal Rajapaksa is facing a dilemma between brotherly bonds and conscience.

Chamal (72), is maintaining a silent conduct these days and is rarely seen in political events.

Earlier, it was reported that he is to make a special statement in Parliament on Jan. 12.

Meanwhile, Chamal's son Shashindra too seems to be following his father's footsteps, and is reportedly taking a less enthusiastic approach in the campaigning activities of the Presidential election.
