SF does not deserve prominence in SJB: Party vice chairman

Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka did not play any role in organizing the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) May Day rally and therefore, he did not deserve any prominence, its Vice Chairman Sujeewa Senasinghe said today.

 

“Fonseka has been critical of SJB and that was another reason for not giving him a speech at the May Day Rally,” Senasinghe told a briefing.

 

He said speeches were given to only those who helped in organizing the rally.

 

“I asked Fonseka what his issue was with the SJB and he informed me that he does not approve of the political practices of the party. Fonseka told me that he does not like SJBers visiting funerals and other functions just to woo votes. He does not deserve anything if he is critical of the party in such a manner,” Senasinghe added.
