Sri Lanka Freedom Party Senior Vice President Janaka Bandara Tennakoon, speaking at a media briefing in Dambulla on Thursday, said:

We cannot approve the statement she made as the adviser to the party and I am extremely hurt by the devastation she had caused to the Sri Lanka Freedom Party.

He further stated:

I wrote to the General Secretary of the party and I requested him to convene the Central Working Committee and take a decision on this and I propose that the Central Working Committee be convened and proper punishments be meted out and that she be expelled from the party.
