A video circulating on social networks shows Jalani Premadasa, the wife of Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) presidential candidate Sajith Premadasa, receiving a military salute during a recent event. In the footage, army personnel are seen standing on either side of the road, extending a formal military welcome to Mrs. Premadasa.
The event, which appears to be a festive occasion, also features Member of Parliament Prof. G.L. Peiris accompanying Mrs. Premadasa. The presence of Peiris, a prominent figure in Sri Lankan politics, adds a notable dimension to the event, suggesting a strong political alignment and support within the SJB ranks.
The video has generated considerable attention on social media, with many interpreting the military courtesy as a sign of respect and high status for Mrs. Premadasa. It highlights the level of support and acknowledgment she and her husband are receiving as they campaign for the presidency.
