Mahinda opts to participate in the joint opposition May Day rally

A group of Members of Parliament in the so called joint opposition

had visited the Carlton residence of the former president Mahinda Rajapaksa to invite him to the May Day rally to be held at Lalith Athulathmudali play ground in Kirillapona. This rally is organized by the joint opposition and the joint trade unions.

It is reported that the former president had not been invited for talks that were held by the  members of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party.This is the reason for him to opt to participate in the rally organized by the joint opposition and the joint trade unions.

He had also said that to invite him for the May Day rally organized by the members of the Sri Lanka Freedom party there is proper way and in proper channels.But to invite by force and adding pressure for which he would  not like to succumb.
