The General Secretary of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party Parliamentarian Dayasiri Jayasekara claims public representatives must also experience the same pressures that the public faces.
In a post on Facebook, the MP said public representatives must also experience power cuts, along with the people.
MP Jayasekara said the notion that all 225 Members of Parliament are celebrating the New Year in grandeur is untrue.
MP Jayasekara added he didn’t purchase new clothes for himself or his children for the New Year this year.
The Parliamentarian said the country is currently battered by nepotism, fraud, corruption, and injustice, adding that such systems must be changed in order to celebrate the New Year.
