Late politician Mangala Samaraweera had launched the new initiative ‘True Patriots’, looking to create change in Sri Lanka’s politics, as his final political move prior to his demise.
Launching the project in July 2021, Samaraweera had pointed out that the renewal of consensual democracy that looks beyond the adversarial politics of the left and the right has become an urgent necessity.
He further said this project will seek to empower the youth of this country to redefine political ideologies with the aim of creating a radical centrist movement towards nation-building.
During his last press conference, which was held on 25th July 2021, the opposition politician had called on the public to join the movement to create a radical change in the political arena. (NewsWire)
