The manifesto of Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna’s presidential candidate Gotabaya Rajapaksa is scheduled to be launched on the 25th of October.
Parliamentarian Udaya Gammanpila stated that this decision was taken during a discussion held at the official residence of Opposition Leader Mahinda Rajapaksa last night (15).
Meanwhile, Gotabaya Rajapaksa has pointed out that Sri Lanka’s sovereignty is currently under threat.
He stated this addressing a convention held at the Sri Lanka Foundation Institute yesterday. The event was held under the auspices of SLPP presidential candidate Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Opposition Leader Mahinda Rajapaksa.
He also commented that the State resources the incumbent government sold to foreign countries must be reclaimed. We have a policy that ensures our country moves forward, putting the nation’s sovereignty at the forefront,” Gotabaya Rajapaksa added.
Speaking of the UNHRC resolution co-sponsored by Sri Lanka during the special press conference held in Colombo yesterday, Rajapaksa said We will always work with the United Nations. But I can’t recognize what they have signed with a different government. It’s not with my government.”

Very good but how do you plan to do it sir?
We all know what happened to Srilankan Airlines. It was profitable under Emirates returning profit to the government, profitably employing Lankans and did not create any financial burden to the Treasury. Made massive losses under SL govt. (In 2019 it was awarded the best airline of South Asia which is nothing at all.)
If you plan to take over Hambantota port from China, will you also take over Iranawila from USA, Trinco from India and the Army headquarters land from Shangri La?
If done badly, this will be a foreign relations disaster in addition to an economic disaster.
