යටත් විජත සමය වෙනුවෙන් බ්‍රිතාන්‍යයෙන් වන්දි ගන්නා බවට විදේශ ඇමති කළ ප්‍රකාශය කුමක්ද?

Publisher’s rating: Insight

Herath made the remarks in Parliament while responding to a proposal by opposition leader Sajith Premadasa. He said Sri Lanka was working to seek compensation for artifacts taken and for property and lives harmed during colonial rule, and was prepared to pursue economic compensation; the review says this was not an isolated or joking statement. Quotes: “විපක්ෂ නායක සජිත් ප්‍රේමදාස මහතා යොමු කළ යෝජනාවකට පිිළිතුරු දැක්වීමක් ලෙස” and “පුරාවස්තු සහ විනාශ කළ දේපළ, ජීවිත වෙනුවෙන් වන්දි ලබාගැනීමට කටයුතු කරමින් සිටින බව ද අමාත්‍යවරයා පාර්ලිමේන්තුවේදී කියා සිටියා.”

අවස්ථාවක් ලැබුණොත් සජිත් සමග එක්වන බව නාමල් ප්‍රකාශ කළාද?

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review says Namal did not state that he would join Sajith Premadasa to form a government. In response to a question about supporting a government formed by the opposition, he said, “If they get that opportunity, let’s see,” which the review describes as an uncertain answer rather than a commitment.
