Original review summary

The review says the viral video was edited to make it appear that Sajith Premadasa said, “We will completely destroy the country’s children.” It identifies the original as a speech at a Katugampola rally in October 2019, where he referred instead to destroying extremist terrorism and punishing drug dealers who destroy the country’s future generations.[S1]
