In this backdrop, MP Thilanga Sumathipala’s newspaper, Lakbima has decided to give maximum publicity to Basil.
Although Namal and Casino King and Transport Ministry Secretary Dhammika Perera were initiating a mud slinging campaign against Treasury Secretary Dr. P.B. Jayasundera, Namal has asked the relevant media institutions to delay the campaign. Namal had made this decision after details of the plan were revealed in this website.
