Sajin complains of death threats from Mahinda (Audio)

Former monitoring MP of the External Affairs Ministry during the Rajapaksa regime, Sajin Vaas Gunawardena has reportedly lodged a police complaint stating that Opposition Leader Mahinda Rajapaksa had told another MP of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) that Sajin and his family will be killed if he continued to support the New Democratic Front (NDF) Presidential candidate Sajith Premadasa at the upcoming presidential election.

Sajin has told the media after lodging the police complaint that a letter describing the situation was sent to the Opposition leader.

“I worked for the Rajapaksa family for 17 years, they expelled me after filing court cases. Still, I have two court cases over money laundering charges and misusing government properties. The previous government had filed the most number of cases against me,” Sajin has said.

While reading out the letter to the media, he has said his wife had received telephone calls from a friendly SLPP MP continuously requesting him to stop helping Premadasa for the election campaign.

“I held a press briefing at Ambalangoda describing my opinion and the future of the SLFP and SLPP. After that my wife received the telephone call and said the same. Then I decided to make the complaint to the police for the protection of my wife and my children,” the former MP has said.

Sajin has added that politicians have no authority to determine the death of any person as it should be decided by nature.
