Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa said that it is the President who is protecting the Prime Minister.
He made this remark in response to a question asked by the media after the Parliamentary session held yesterday.
Rajapaksa also said that they will request the Speaker to hand over the Leader of the Opposition to the group of MPs representing the Joint Opposition.
“Governments come and go. This government will remain for two more Vesak poya days”, Rajapaksa said.
He further said that he is prepared to offer his support to appoint a SLFP MP to the post of Prime Minister and that he will not assist the Prime Ministers of the UNP. According to the way the President is acting now, it is hard to believe that there will be a change in the post of Prime Minister, Rajapaksa added.
