KANDY: Upcountry People’s Front leader Minister P. Chandrasekran revealed that the United National Party attempted to strike a deal with the LTTE before the Presidential Election.

Chandrasekaran said he discussed with the LTTE on behalf of the UNP and vowed to disclose those details in due course. He said allegations that the Government has given funds to the LTTE were completely unacceptable and baseless.

The people should know about the UNP-LTTE discussions and the UNP’s allegations against the Government on a deal with the LTTE could boomerang on the UNP, he added.

He said it would not be easy to topple the Government which enjoys tremendous public support. No conspiracies will be able to bring down the Government.
