Namal denies claims MR sought help from monks to block arrests
29 Jun, 2025
MP Namal Rajapaksa has denied claims his father, former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, has sought the assistance of top Buddhist monks to prevent the arrest of his family members.
In a post on X, Namal Rajapaksa claimed that the Government, which has failed to deliver on the promises it made in its first year, is now desperately attempting to cover up its failures.
“In an effort to cover up, it has resorted to spreading false claims that former President Mahinda Rajapaksa is seeking the help of the Ven. Mahanayaka Theros to prevent the arrest of his family members. This is not just an attack on the former President, but a disgraceful attempt to drag our most respected religious leaders into political mudslinging. Such actions are deeply condemnable,” he said.
Namal Rajapaksa said the claims are entirely false and clearly expose how the Government is trying to politicize the Police and even the judiciary to falsely implicate his family members.
“My family and I have consistently faced politically motivated investigations without fear, and we continue to place our full trust in the country’s judicial system without seeking special treatment or favors,” he said.
Rajapaksa said that it is time for the Government to stop misleading the public and start fulfilling the promises it made.
He says resorting to false campaigns, character assassination, and politicizing law enforcement, tactics often associated with the NPP, only reveals their desperation to cover up their own failures and misdeeds.
