Opposition leader MP Sajith Premadasa says the vote on the No-Confidence Motion (NCM) against the government will expose the true motives of the MPs in Parliament.
Issuing a special statement today, the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) leader said the recent vote on the Deputy Speaker has proven that the “seasoned” politicians have no wish to change anything about the country’s failed political system.
Full statement:
With 148 votes cast in favour of the resigned deputy speaker, our really “seasoned” politicians proved they have no wish to change anything about our failed political system. In fact, they will do anything to maintain the status quo.
What we are up against as opposition is a media that is owned, politicians that are owned, and the “independents” who were bought long ago. There is no “political strategy” that will fix that. There is only truth to expose.
SJB will stick to its course. This means more truth will come spilling out in the coming days. The NCM is about holding this regime accountable, it is not about dictating conditions to the SJB.
Let the NCM reveal the true nature of the beast. The MPs that will vote in favour of the current leadership will do so for their own survival. But it will reveal those that will choose their own survival over holding this corrupt regime accountable.
We will not form an Interim Government with those that want it only so they can dig themselves out of their holes, secure positions, and tide out the bad times.
Why should this whole country and its people make the ultimate sacrifice only to support a corrupt and inefficient Government? Why should we do anything to keep the Rajapaksa’s going? Why should SJB just go along with the “deals”?
JUST RESIGN @GotabayaR, @PresRajapaksa . JUST RESIGN so this country can finally move forward. – Opposition Leader, MP Sajith Premadasa. (NewsWire)
