Health Minister Dr. Rajitha Senaratne says former President Mahinda Rajapaksa had invited world leaders with 32 wives to visit Sri Lanka.

He said that when Rajapaksa was President, world leaders with no value or recognition visited Sri Lanka, including world leaders with 32 wives.

Speaking at an event held today, Dr. Rajitha Senaratne said that President Maithripala Sirisena was now being forced to make friends with world leaders with no value or recognition.

He said that President Sirisena has lost the respect he had when he attended the Group of Seven summit in 2016.

Dr. Rajitha Senaratne also insisted that the current Government will win the next Presidential and Parliament elections. (Colombo Gazette)
