JVP Dimisses Allegations It Intends To File Case Against Gotabhaya Rajapaksa Dual Citizenship

The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) has rejected allegation by Dr Rajith Senearatne that it intends to file a case against Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna candidate Gotabhaya Rajapaksa.

In a statement signed by Vijitha Herath, the party said the comment by Dr Senaratne was meant to mislead the people.

It said the party did not need to resort to underhand methods that undermine the sovereignty of the people and was confident of the support from the people to the JVP-led National People’s Power (NPP).

Health Minister Rajitha Senaratne said yesterday the JVP was planning to take legal action against SLPP presidential candidate Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s dual citizenship.
