SJB not willing to defend every Opposition politician penalised for crime: MP
– The Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) is not willing to defend and back each and every Opposition politician if they are penalized for serious crimes, SJB MP Harshana Rajakaruna said today.
MP Rajakaruna came up with this remark in response to a question raised by journalists as to whether the SJB will defend any Opposition politician if such a person is arrested for a crime such as the killing of Rugby player Wasim Thajudeen. “Also, we will not go in for a political marriage with Opposition political parties unless there are similarities in policies,” he added.
