The Sri Lankan MP and general secretary of the Pivithuru Hela Urumaya (PHU), Udaya Gammanpila, accused the country's opposition leader, R Sampanthan of only being concerned with the North-East.
“It seems the Opposition Leader is only concerned about the whats happening in the North and East though he is responsible for taking up matters connected to the whole country. It is clear that he is not going address these issues even in the future,” Mr Gammanpila was quoted by the Daily Mirror as saying at a news conference on Friday.
"The posts of President, Prime Minister, Speaker, Opposition Leader and Chief Opposition Whip were from the ‘swan’ group and as such the government is only bowling harmless balls to the opposition so that it could score sixes easily," he reportedly added.
