Didn’t join Alliance led by Sajith: Sudarshini
Gampaha District SLPP MP Dr. Sudarshini Fernandopulle rejected the reports which said she has joined the Samagi Jana Alliance led by Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa.
She said she resigned as a State Minister in April 2022 and decided to act as an independent MP in Parliament after considering the hardships the public is going through.
“I have always acted true to my conscience, and as a public representative, I have not hesitated to support people-friendly proposals tabled by the government and reject the proposals deemed harmful to the public,” MP Fernandopulle said in a Facebook post.
The MP said she met with the Opposition Leader and other opposition MPs to discuss the common objectives that must be fulfilled towards the public as an opposition at a time that the 2023 Budget was being tabled. She said a consensus was reached to fulfil such tasks as one opposition in Parliament.

CID probe launched over photo of tooth relic
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has launched an investigation into a photo circulating on social media, allegedly showing the sacred tooth relic during the ongoing special exposition – ‘Siri Dalada Vandanawa’ in Kandy.
According to Police Headquarters, the circulating image is seemingly an image taken by a devotee who attended the exposition, which is being held until April 27.
The police emphasises that devotees are not permitted to take photos or use their phones.
In this backdrop, the CID is investigating to ascertain whether the circulating photo was indeed taken during the ‘Siri Dalada Vandanawa’ exposition, and whether it was a photo captured by someone or whether it is merely an edited image.
The CID investigation has been launched on the instructions of the Acting Inspector General of Police.
