Former Minister Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna Operations Chief Johnston Fernando tells the media that former President Mahinda Rajapaksa is scheduled to attend the rally to be held by the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna in Anuradhapura on the 12th.
However, he said that the former President will not address the rally or sit on the main stage and will join the rally from a front row seat.
Namal Rajapaksa, who was arrested by the Bribery Commission last Friday, was remanded until the 18th after being produced before the court. Accordingly, since he will not be able to attend the rally, Johnston Fernando further says that the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna has decided to summon the former President.
