Jackson’s name slashed, Malini’s name added to UPFA national list
The name of Jackson Anthony, who played a key role in President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s election campaign, has been slashed and the name of celluloid queen, Malini Fonseka has been included in the UPFA national list, SLFP sources said. Although Basil Rajapaksa had included Anthony’s name in the Gampaha District nominations list, his name had to be slashed following objections raised by Felix Perera.
