The party leadership meeting of the Sri Lanka People’s Freedom Alliance was held under the patronage of Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa at Temple Trees this afternoon (September 23). The LNG terminal is expected to begin operations in 2023. Meanwhile, Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa, in a statement issued today, expressed his objection to the selling of 40% stakes of the WCP. None of the shareholders involved in selling of the stakes can escape their responsibility for this major mistake, he stressed. Further, Premadasa noted that the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) aims to stand against the government’s move.
