Former Minister Basil Rajapaksa said that he did not hold any discussions with the SLFP’s Group of 16. Furthermore, he said that they are not ready to accept such groups.
Rajapaksa made theses remarks to media after attending function in Colombo today (14).
He went on to say that if there isn’t any legal impediment for Mahinda Rajapaksa to contest in the upcoming Presidential elections, he would be the candidate as that is the wish of the people.
However, if he’s unable to contest, we would support any candidate that is named by the former President, he added.
He also said that the people of this country will make a decision in the future regarding those who have placed themselves on both sides of the political divide.
