The United National Party (UNP) has extended an invitation to Opposition and Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Leader Sajith Premadasa to join hands with the party.
Issuing a statement, the SJB General Secretary MP Ranjith Madduma Bandara responded to the UNP’s request.
“Its officers might have forgotten by now that the SJB was formed under the consent of the UNP Working Committee.People have proven at the last General Elections where the UNPers stand by now and it should be emphasized that it is not a development taken place just by chance, it said.
The SJB further said its doors are open for the UNP if only it wishes to join hands with the party after necessary purifications.
It added that if on the other hand, the UNP wishes to continue its journey along the road of further downfall, then the SJB has no option left but to sympathise with its predicament. (NewsWire)
