Kurunegala Central special correspondent
People should strengthen the hands of President Mahinda Rajapaksa, by
ensuring a UPFA victory at the forthcoming Provincial Council Elections
said National Freedom Front Leader Wimal Weerawansa at an election
meeting held at Katupotha.
The meeting was held in support of NFF candidates contesting the
Wayamba Provincial Council elections on the UPFA ticket. He said at a
time, our war heroes are forging a victory against terrorism, the NFF is
duty bound to back the Government with the intention of a united Sri
Lanka where Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims and others live in unison
protecting their ethnic identity.
Weerawansa said thousands of UNP and JVP supporters joined the
Government under the leadership of President Mahinda Rajapaksa.He said
Opposition Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe was unable to issue even a media
statement, with regard to the Mullativu and Kilinochchi victory. Some
parties were trying to undermine and divert attention from the military
victories, with various sabotage attempts in the South.
Weerawansa said, all the prominent UNP members of Wayamba joined the
UPFA and another set of 30 UNPers will join the UPFA within two or three
weeks. Central and North Western Provincial Councils are regions where
diverse ethnic and religious groups live, the victory will mean that all
communities support the Government without any race, caste, religious
and ethnic differences.
He said, the Government is carrying out a humanitarian operation in
the North to liberate the innocent civilians, and it has a
responsibility of developing the region to uplift the living standards
of the masses.
Provincial Council candidates Mahinda Bakmewewa, Senaratne
Erugalbandara and Ven. Dutuwewe Lankananda Thera also spoke. |
