Speaking at a public rally in Embilipitiya recently the leader of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna, Anura Kumara Dissanayake accused Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna stalwart Basil Rajapaksa for being a businessman rather than a patriot.
“It is like the shops that come in for festivals near Pandols,” he said adding that the shops are only present as long as the Pandal is attracting the crowd which in turn means more business for the shops. “Once the Pandol lights go out the shops return to where they came from,” he said equating that to Basil’s and Gota’s trip to and from Sri Lanka.
“When Mahinda is President Basil comes to the country and when he isn't in power he returns to the US” he pointed out. “Are these patriots who have come to save the country?” he questioned.
