MoU to be signed on December 28:

NFF supports Government

The National Freedom Front (NFF) has decided to support the Government. This is a consequence of its decision to strengthen the forward march of the heroic Security Forces and defeat conspiracies hatched by national and international forces actively engaged in undermining the humanitarian operations against terrorism.

It is also a response to the invitation recently extended to all progressives forces by President Mahinda Rajapaksa to unite with the Government to build the country at this decisive moment.

Two rounds of discussions have been held in this connection between the UPFA and the NFF.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will be signed by the two parties on December 28 to commemorate 2009 as the Victorious Year of War Heroes and to work in cooperation with each other.

Prime Minister Ratnasiri Wickremanayake, Ministers D.M. Jayaratne, Dullas Alahapperuma, Nimal Siripala de Silva, Susil Premjayantha and Governor Alavi Moulana attended the discussions on behalf of the UPFA and Wimal Weerawansa, Nandana Gunatilaka, Piyasiri Wijenayake and Kamal Deshapriya attended on behalf of the NFF. NFF President Wimal Weerawansa told the ITN TV yesterday evening that all progressive forces should unite and defeat attempts by local and foreign evil forces to prevent the victory of Security Forces in 2009.
