SJB MP Dr. Harsha de Silva took to Twitter to challenge former JVP MP Nalinda Jayathissa's recent statement regarding a future NPP government's approach to the IMF. Jayathissa had mentioned that the NPP would collaborate with the IMF while respecting the people's mandate.

De Silva responded with a tweet that expressed skepticism, stating, "What gibberish to deceive people of #SriLanka! Having voted against the IMF program, having opposed every piece of reform and totally opposed to Central Bank independence (I heard their econ advisor calling it to be completely politicized; their ideology). Best to be honest noh?"

This exchange highlights differing opinions on economic policies and international collaborations, setting the stage for potential debates in Sri Lanka's political landscape.
