Former Minister Sarath Weerasekara has praised President Ranil Wickremesinghe’s response during a recent interview with German media, Deutsche Welle.
The exclusive interview took place on the sidelines of the President’s visit to Germany to attend the ‘Berlin Global Dialogue’.
Video footage shows President Ranil Wickremesinghe being angered by questions raised by the interviewer, especially on British Media Channel 4’s allegations on the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks, and the newly appointed Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Praising the President, MP Sarath Weerasekara said he appreciates the President for putting in place a foreign journalist who was preparing for a mudslinging interview.
“Even though we don’t agree with the President on other things, the President’s actions during the interview to put the foreign journalist in his place is commended,” he added. (NewsWire)
