The Frontline Socialist Party has accused former cricket captains Kumara Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardena of running a business on 400 acres of land in the Veditalthivu conservation area.
The party’s propaganda secretary, Duminda Nagamuwa, said that large-scale shrimp and crab farming is being carried out on these lands. Addressing a media briefing in Colombo, he said that the country should be informed about how these lands were acquired during the previous governments.
