evidence: The SJB has meanwhile expressed its preparedness to hold both debates planned between it and the JVP/NPP at any time, after the 6 June debate between the two Party Leaders resulted in only the JVP/NPP Leader attending the debate organised by the State-owned ITN channel, with the SJB Leader stating at the last minute that he will not be attending until the debate between the Economic Committees of the two parties is held. [...] "They played a trick on 6 June by participating in a programme we hadn’t agreed to. We’ve been insisting that these debates should occur on open platforms with all media institutions present and moderated by an independent party. [...] The SJB meanwhile has also filed a complaint with the CID regarding a fake letter claiming that Party Leader Premadasa had accepted an invitation to a debate hosted by ITN. The document had been shared on social media.
