UPFA Matara District MP Kanchana Wijesekera said today he had decided to temporarily leave the joint opposition.
However, he said that his decision is in no way against the joint opposition or former president Mahinda Rajapaksa, but against those who misuse the JO platform in the pursuit of earning more money and against those who support such moves.
In response to a question raised he said thus:’’ I will never sell my soul for a ministerial post or other perks but will continue to fulfil my duties as a Member of the Opposition’’.
