Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) Presidential candidate Gotabaya Rajapaksa has been advised to avoid facing the media.
Rajapaksa’s spokesman Dullas Alahapperuma said that the former Defence Secretary was avoiding the media based on legal advise.
He said that several cases have been filed against Rajapaksa locally and overseas.
As a result his lawyers have advised him to stay away, as much as possible, from the media and avoid making statements which could affect the court cases.
Alahapperuma said that Rajapaksa is not trying to intentionally avoid the media and that he will face the media soon.
