The SLPP will definitely hold the rally scheduled to be held in Anuradhapura on the 12th, and former President Mahinda Rajapaksa is scheduled to attend the rally, former Minister Johnston Fernando, the head of operations of the SLPP, told the media.
However, former President Mahinda Rajapaksa will not be on the main stage but will join the rally from the front row and will not address the rally, former Minister Johnston Fernando has stated.
Namal Rajapaksa, who was arrested by the Bribery Commission last Friday, was remanded until the 18th after being produced before the court. Accordingly, since he will not be able to attend the rally, the SLPP has decided to call the former President, Johnston Fernando further said.
