No one can prevent Fonseka's doomsday - Minister

No one will be able to prevent the doom of Sarath Fonseka on January 26, who has embarked on a journey together with the already destroyed UNP and the JVP, Agriculture Development and Govijana Seva Minister Maithripala Sirisena said.

He would therefore invite all grassroots members of the UNP and JVP to be partners in the great victory of President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

He was addressing a meeting of SLFP supporters in Bediwewa in Polonnaruwa. At this meeting over 300 members of the UNP and JVP obtained SLFP membership.

The Minister said during the past 30 years, the country witnessed massive destruction of lives. "The war not only destroyed lives. It also destroyed people's morals and human feelings. In that whole period the people were only exposed to guns and bullets." Therefore one of the main aims under the next tenure of President Mahinda Rajapaksa will be to restore human values and lost morals in addition to redeveloping the war ravaged country."

He said Sri Lanka will need to go forward with the rest of the developed world. While the Government waged war during the past 3 1/2 years it carried out vast development. "However we cannot be entirely satisfied with its pace considering the disruptive climate that prevailed. However now the government is able to carry this out with success."

"Today opposition candidate Fonseka's campaign has failed to attract the people. It is only propped up by certain media institutions.
