Geethanath Cassilingham, Politburo Member of the SLPP and Chief Organiser for Jaffna district, said, “I do not understand how hosting an MP from Sri Lanka for a debate can be described as ‘normalizing atrocities.’ A university invitation is not an opportunity for open engagement. Namal Rajapaksa is an individual political leader who should be judged on his own record.”
He added, “Institutions like the Oxford Union and Cambridge Union exist to allow rigorous debate, You may not agree with what Namal Rajapaksa says, and that is your right. But freedom of expression does not mean silencing views we dislike. It means allowing them to be heard.”
Cassilingham also said that Rajapaksa “is coming to engage directly and answer questions honestly” and that “we believe the next generation can move beyond division, address differences through dialogue, and build a stronger Sri Lanka, back home, moving forward from scars and bitter memories.”
"We respect the right of students to protest, that is their democratic freedom — but we are also open to discussion," he added.
Special discussion at CPC Headquarters, Beijing 🇨🇳
Senior CPC officials met members from 11 major Sri Lankan parties to explore opportunities for enhancing the political knowledge of young SLPP leaders and strengthening cooperation.

There’s no real external pressure on Kachchateevu, Well, not yet. But if we keep stirring it up for political drama or to echo @actorvijay who barely understand the issue, we could end up creating a problem we can’t contain.
Right now #lka isn’t in a position to handle serious external pressure. If this turns into something bigger, we’ll be the ones facing the consequences, not those making noise for clout.
Today, under our #GaminGamata initiative, we gathered in the Digamadulla electorate of Ampara at the residence of Mr. Upul Priyantha, Divisional Council member for Dematamal Pelassa in Uhana. Thank you for hosting us at your residence and for your continued commitment to uplifting rural communities.
We strongly condemn the government’s act of politicizing the National Youth Services Council, which is a huge blow to the overall youth population in the country.
The arrest of Poorna Sathyajith, former Chairman of the Kalutara District Youth Federation, for opposing this move is a clear act of oppression. This is not just an attack on one individual but an assault on independent youth leadership in Sri Lanka.
We strongly urge the government to stop politicizing civil society and independent organizations including youth councils, in order to maintain democracy and a fair and just system.
Sri Lanka was the first nation to fully defeat terrorism, yet the West continues to selectively target our war veterans while ignoring those who funded and justified LTTE brutality. The latest UK sanctions aren’t about human rights—they’re the result of relentless LTTE-backed lobbying, manipulating foreign governments to act against those who brought lasting peace.
This is not justice; some Western politicians are enjoying the perks of lobbying money, putting our nation’s reconciliation at risk. People from both the North and South must understand that the freedom we enjoy today comes from tough decisions. These sanctions will lower the morale of our forces, and if another crisis arises, they may lack the courage to fight if we don’t support them now.
Those behind these sanctions don’t care about the safety of the Tamil community—they are only creating more problems and further jeopardizing reconciliation. Their real goal is to disrupt the progress made, especially as Tamil communities in the North and East now have a clear path to vote for national parties. We will never allow anyone to hamper reconciliation between communities.
I want to reiterate once again—the war was against terrorism, not against any ethnic group. I urge the Tamil community not to fall for the agenda of certain Tamil politicians who receive perks to fuel divisions between communities through certain INGOs.
@anuradisanayake@HMVijithaHerath —Your government came to power with support from those who have always undermined our military’s sacrifices. Will you defend them now when foreign powers attack those who secured peace for Sri Lanka, or will you stay silent?
We will always protect our war veterans—now and forever. Their sacrifices secured our peace, and we will never allow anyone to undermine their legacy.
