Satheesan accepts Natesan’s challenge to go into political exile if the UDF fails to score an emphatic win in the 2026 Assembly polls

Leader of the Opposition said there was no personal quarrel with the SNDP Yogam general secretary. “I respect Mr Natesan’s age and stature. I also respect the chair I occupy and the proud legacy of the office of the Leader of the Opposition. My office constrains me from responding in like to Mr. Natesan, who is at the cusp of reaching 90,” he said.
