The Sri Lanka Freedom Party plays a major role in the coalition government of the Sri Lanka People’s Alliance. Former President Maithripala Sirisena has retaliated by saying that the government will be overthrown if the Freedom Party leaves the government.
If you do not like the policies of the government, the SLFP should leave with dignity, ”Minister Namal Rajapaksa told the media. He said this while commenting to the media. He further said: –
“The young and old who challenge us from the Sri Lanka People’s Front started politics from the Sri Lanka Freedom Party.
It was the Freedom Party that addressed their political careers. Forgetting this they act. The Sri Lanka Freedom Party was the main reason for the victory of the Sri Lanka People’s Alliance in the last Presidential and General Elections.
In this context, the Sri Lanka Freedom Party plays a major role in the Sri Lanka People’s Alliance government. If the Freedom Party leaves the government, the government will be overthrown. This will be understood by the leadership of the Sri Lanka People’s Front.
It is not our intention to overthrow the government. However, if the government continues to go down the wrong path, we, the main partner, will not hesitate to leave. “
