An NPP member of parliament has launched a scathing critique of Opposition figure Kiriella and issued a pointed warning to the Samagi Jana Balawegaya regarding the pursuit of ethnic-based politics.
The NPP legislator's remarks highlight growing tensions within the Opposition camp, as political divisions deepen over fundamental approaches to governance and national unity. The criticism reflects broader concerns among civil society actors and political observers regarding the potential dangers of ethnic polarisation in political discourse.
The warning directed at the SJB underscores apprehensions that opposition parties may resort to divisive electoral strategies centred on ethnic grievances. Such approaches have historically proven destabilising in Sri Lanka's political landscape.
The statement comes amid ongoing parliamentary debates on constitutional reforms and governance frameworks, with various political factions advancing competing visions for the country's future direction.
