Sajith Promises Support For UNP Members Facing Disciplinary Action For Supporting SJB: Says He Will Personally Intervene To Offer Legal Help

Former Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa has promised to support any UNP member facing disciplinary action for aligning with the Samagi Jana Balawegaya.

Issuing a statement, Premadasa said he would personally intervene to offer legal support for those facing suspension from the UNP.

The former Opposition Leader said the SJB was formed based on a Working Committee decision by the UNP and the party members should not have any qualms about supporting the new political front.

Premadasa invited LG councillors and activists representing the UNP to join hands with his alliance at the upcoming Parliamentary election.

However, the UNP has already suspended 102 party members who have submitted nomination papers from the SJB.
