Leader of the New Lanka Freedom Party, Kumara Welgama says former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa should stay at home and engage in religious activities during the remaining days along with his wife. Welgama said Rajapaksa is unsuited to politics and therefore should not engage in active politics going forward.

“I tell him, stay home! You have a good wife, engage in religious and meritorious deeds with her. But do not enter politics. Do not become a victim of traps others have laid out for you” he said.

Welgama made these comments addressing rumours that Rajapaksa may enter politics and be appointed as Prime Minister or an MP, at the opening of the party’s head office in Battaramulla yesterday
