Opposition Leader living in a dream world - Attorney at Law
Lakshmi de Silva
There is a very weak Opposition in our country and the Opposition
Leader is living in a dream world. The role of the Opposition Leader was
not to wait until he gets power through political games, but to serve
the people of the country as the Opposition Leader, Attorney-at-Law
Kalinga Indatissa said.
Addressing a press conference at the Mahaweli Centre, Colombo
recently representing the Sri Lanka Professional Forum he said as
Winston Churchill once said every country should have a strong
Government and a strong Opposition. One need not wait until he come to
power to do a service to the public. Even an ordinary Member of
Parliament could move motions and bring beneficial results to the
public.
"The Opposition Leader should not dream but work for the people of
the country. Our Opposition had already tried political games to come to
power through short cuts but had failed as it was not playing the
correct role as a responsible Opposition, he explained.
"Even if the Opposition Leader was weak he could call legal experts
and get their opinion and work for the progress of the country. But he
does not do that, he said. |
