Sajith attempts to save Nihal Jayatilake!

 Friday, 24 April 2015

Minister Sajith Premadasa is making attempts to save Dr. Nihal Jayatilake, who is ‘spending a vacation’, together with Basil Rajapaksa, at Colombo National Hospital’s merchant ward, say UNP sources.

The minister is acting so due to the friendship he had struck with Jayatileke, who was the health ministry secretary when he was the deputy health minister in the 2001 UNP government.

Making his case before the UNP leader and the justice minister, Sajith said, “Dr. Nihal is a very honest and innocent man. I can make him a state witness against Basil by promising him bail.” However, neither the UNP leader nor the justice minister given any positive response to his request.
