The support extended by former President Mahinda Rajapaksa to take part in the scheduled protest march adds some additional strength, MP Dinesh Gunawardena says.

The observation was made at a press conference held in Colombo this afternoon (26).

“Mahindananda, Weerawansa, Namal Rajapaksa, Johnston Fernando, Rohitha Abeygunawardena and Kanchana Wijesekera are behind the organization of this protest,” Gunawardena told reporters.

Meanwhile, MP Dullas Alahapperuma speaking at the press conference severely criticised the decision to extend the coalition agreement between the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) and the United National Party (UNP).
