Instead of joint opposition the name to use is jobless Rajapaksa society - Akila Viraj
At the media briefing held at the UNP headquarters Siri kotha in Pita Kotte the Minister of education Akila Viraj Kariyawasam in
addition to what he uttered had this to say:
When there are economic, education, health and housing matters that need to be discussed for the sake of the public by the opposition what the so clled joint opposition is doing is like a jobless Rajapaksa society.They are attempting to get back the vehicles, official bungalows,security and other privileges which they had been deprived of.
The main worry of the members of the so called joint opposition is to speak and fight for the security of the former president Mahinda Rajapaksa.The government has allocated 400 STF personnel for him to pick the security personnel who are all trained for VIP security.
The Minister also emphasized that those who are shouting are those who had earned millions in corrupt methods.During the era of the earlier regime as loans could not be obtained from the IMF they had obtained loans at high interest rates and built the Mattala International airport and the Mattala harbour.Not only that Sri Lankan airlines had incurred billions as loses.This government is not burdening the people to cover these loses he had said.
