When I wrote earlier this week about what is expected from our largest opposition party, the SJB, I did so hoping that the party would awake and articulate their vision for Sri Lanka, and their stand on the many gnarly policy decisions that face our country. I was heartened to see that the party had exercised the time-honoured journalistic tradition of right-of-reply to respond to my concerns and set out its policies on a number of thorny issues.
But I was surprised to see that the party’s response was penned not by an elected official of the SJB, but by the party’s foreign policy advisor Dr. Dayan Jayatillake.
