The Opposition, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) has responded to a letter by the National Peoples’ Power (NPP) over the dates for a public debate between the two parties.
In a letter dated 22nd April, the NPP said it was prepared for a debate between the Leaders of the NPP and SJB, Anura Kumara Dissanayake and Sajith Premadasa, respectively, on either 07, 09, 13, or 14 May.
Responding to the letter, the SJB said it had initially proposed a public debate between the Economic Councils of the two parties, to which the NPP has not responded in its latest letter.
Stating that dates have been proposed only for the debate between the two party leaders, the SJB questioned why the party has failed to propose dates for the debate between the Economic Councils.
The SJB also enquired from the NPP to confirm whether the debate between the Economic Councils of the two parties will take place or not.
The SJB has further invited the NPP for a discussion on either the 25th or 26th of April to finalise the dates for both public debates. (Newswire)
