Amaraweera, Dilan justify Arundika!

Amaraweera, Dilan justify Arundika!

Jun 16, 2017

SLFP general secretary Mahinda Amaraweera and minister Dilan Perera have justified state minister, MP for Puttalam Arundika Fernando, who has published in social media the pictures he has taken of him along with Udayanga Weeratunga, during the recent tour of Japan by ex-president Mahinda Rajapaksa.

After Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation criticized Fernando in its ‘Sodisi’ programme, both ministers strongly criticized deputy minister of media Lasantha Alagiyawanne, and asked him to immediately stop attacking SLFPers.  Justifying Fernando’s reckless conduct, they have claimed it was a personal right of him to meet with Weeratunga, and stressed that the state media could not criticized him for it. It is not Fernando whom the two ministers are protecting, but Weeratunga.
