evidence: A letter released by the Chairman of Independent Television Network (ITN) on June 4 revealed an incident that explains the politics of the attempt of the National People’s Power (NPP) to hold a debate between the Economic Committees of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) and the NPP as a leadership debate. It was with the campaign launched on June 6 that the ITN was ready for a debate between Sajith and Anura. [...] MP Nalin Bandara replied, "I know that a letter has been received on June 5. On the other hand, if there is such a debate, the basic facts about that debate should be discussed and organised with the coordinators of both sides. It is a serious problem that the ITN acts as required by the JVP, which tries to avoid the economic committee debate and only come for the leadership debate. [...] "The other is that the political discussions in the ITN are held after informing the Director General of Government Information? This clearly shows a deal between President Wickremesinghe and Anura Kumara Dissanayake," he said.
