SLFP split over Bandaranaikes’ commemoration

26 Sep 2022

BY Buddhika Samaraweera   Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena and several Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) MPs who recently accepted Cabinet and State Ministerial posts attended the event to commemorate the slain Prime Minister S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike, late Premier Sirimavo Bandaranaike, and late Speaker of Parliament Anura Bandaranaike yesterday (26) while the current SLFP hierarchy led by Party Chairman Maithripala Sirisena commemorated the same, separately. The event to commemorate S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike, Sirimavo Bandaranaike, and Anura Bandaranaike was held last morning (26) at the Bandaranaike Memorial in Attanagalla. Former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga and her sister Sunethra Bandaranaike presided over the event, which was attended by Premier Gunawardena and former Speaker Karu Jayasuriya. Apart from them, Mahinda Amaraweera, Lasantha Alagiyawanna, Jagath Pushpakumara, and Ranjith Siyambalapitiya, who were removed from all positions in the SLFP due to taking over Cabinet and State Ministerial positions recently, participated in the event. In addition to them, New Lanka Freedom Party Leader and Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Parliamentarian Kumara Welgama, Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) MP Yadamini Gunawardena, SLPP elected “Independent” MPs Anura Priyadarshana Yapa, Chandima Weerakkodi, and Piyankara Jayaratne, and former Minister Jeewan Kumaratunga were also present on the occasion. However, SLFP Chairman, former President and incumbent MP Maithripala Sirisena and SLFP General Secretary and MP Dayasiri Jayasekara did not participate in the event, as they had instead organised a separate event to commemorate the Bandaranaikes at the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH) in Colombo.
