SLPP MP Namal Rajapaksa has denied recent social media claims regarding the health of his father, former President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

Speaking to reporters after arriving at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) this morning (April 7), Namal stated that his father is in good health and has not been admitted to hospital, as suggested by online rumours.

“When I went home, he was there and everything was normal. The stories circulating on social media are simply untrue,” he said, responding to speculation about the former President’s wellbeing. (Newswire)
