"Statement of slave underground politics I made sometime before" -- Correction by Jackson
The article was published in the feature column last 18th in the feature column of Lankadeepa Rasawindana under the title "Underworld politics has no use of ideological beliefs". Mr. Jackson Anthony has explained matters in connection with the article referred to and has sent a letter to that newspaper.
It is mentioned in it thus: "The internet has become perturbed about the idea expressed in the
newspaper article. Various party elements have strived to connect my statement for their wants and needs. Therefore I have something to explain about it. This discussion was held with features editor Mr. Yahampath about two months ago. At that time even presidential candidates were not selected. Most parties had been circulating rival ideas about their contenders. Mud-slinging and criticisms were galore. Legal issues, constitutional problems and cluster issues were plenty.

As a result of the above secret conspiracies flared up within parties and common society. I despise politics of a conspiracy nature. Political decisions and secret conspiracies in our country from the year 2015. Conspiracy in fact is an underground activity. The majority of voters in Sri Lanka have turned elections into a game of entertainment. The media markets this entertainment. Just as much those days the 'udu pila' and 'yati pela' engaged in fun, today the election has been made into a low-grade game. So I mentioned at that time that this underground conspiratorial party politics is something which I abhor.
Parliament privileges were not targeted at my political leanings. What I did was ideological politics only. But my opinionated statements had no necessity from a conspiratorial underground politics from which originated from 2015. If this statement was published in the relevant period I had this discussion, the reader would be able to comprehend it in a correct manner as such.
