National Freedom Front leader Wimal Weerawansa lashed out at former UPFA General Secretary Susil Premajayantha, pointing out that he may have played a 'double game' or a 'triple game' during the general election.

 

He made this comment answering a question from the media during a press conference held at Abhayarama Temple in Colombo today. Weerawansa also said that Susil Premajayantha is rumored to be appointed a minister in the national government.

 

Premajayantha was instrumental in obtaining nominations to former President Mahinda Rajapaksa through the UPFA. He was removed as UPFA General Secretary by President Maithripala Sirisena merely three days before the general election.

 

Meanwhile, Weerawansa said that the national government was formed so that the opposition could be controlled. He added that neither the UNP supporters nor the UPFA supporters voted to form a national government.

 

He added that he was opposed to the national government and would be sitting in the opposition.

 

Speaking at the press conference, Pivithuru Hela Urumaya leader Udaya Gammanpila and Left Democratic Front General Secretary Vasudeva Nanayakkara also opposed the national government.
