Opposition leader Sajith Premadasa charged the government was offering liquor permits to opposition MPs to lure them to aid in getting the presidency and premiership.
Strongly rejecting the issuance of liquor permits in a bankrupt country, he said a SJB government would annul all those permits.
Premadasa was speaking at the donation of a Rs. 2.4 million bubble CPAP machine to the neonatal unit of the Negombo General Hospital on international mothers’ day.
He added the SJB was without people who betrayed their party or policies for various gratifications offered by the government.
