According to the survey conducted by the Department of census and statistics in 2001, the population of Sri Lanka is less than the crowd turned up at the Paada Yatra rally. By making this statement, the Parliamentarian challenged the statistics announced by the department.
"This is the power of the people. The government is afraid of the people's support received by the Joint Opposition" Kumarasinghe said addressing a press conference in Colombo yesterday. However, none of the UPFA politicians who attended the press conference took measures to correct Kumarasinghe's statement.
"They defied rain and many other difficulties to attend the Joint Opposition's Paada Yatra. That demonstrated the love they had for former President Rajapaksa, All anti-government forces have now rallied around with the Joint Opposition" the actress turned Parliamentarian added.
