To safeguard national interest:

Defeat frantic move

Conspiratory forces are engaged in an effort to undermine the initiatives of President to unify the nation after defeating the Tamil homeland dream of the LTTE, by merging the North and East.

It is the bounden duty of every patriotic citizen to defeat this frantic move by these elements, Urban Development and Sacred Area Development Minister Dinesh Goonawardene said.

Presiding over a Mahajana Eksath Peramuna conference of the Kesbewa electorate held recently at the 'Wanapetha' Hall, Kesbewa, Minister Goonawardene said nearly 29 political parties have rallied round the UPFA to ensure the victory of President Mahinda Rajapaksa at the Presidential Election. The people from the North and South alike strongly believed that the President would never give into the threats emanating from foreign or local elements. On the other hand, Ranil Wickremesinghe had made false complaints about Sri Lanka to the UN Human Rights Commission. He tried his best to topple the economy and force the suspension of the humanitarian war.

It was President Mahinda Rajapaksa who gave orders to Sarath Fonseka in the battlefront.

Today this very Sarath Fonseka is making efforts to support the Eelam concept of the Tamil National Alliance.

All patriotic forces should come forward to defeat this dangerous conspiracy, Minister Goonewardene said.

SLFP Kesbewa organiser Gamini Lokuge, Colombo District organiser Chandana Kathriarachchi, Western Provincial Councillor Sunil Jayamini and several others were present.
