Parliamentarian U.Radhakrishnan who is also the leader of the up-country Peoples Front said that certain local and foreign powers were making attempts to destabilise the country, impeding the noble efforts of President Mahinda Rajapaksa to ensure a better living for the people and this made his party to extend its fullest cooperation to strengthen the hands of the President.

He said that the up-country Peoples Front won 25 seats in the last local government elections contesting independently as a party, and the support of all those members would be extended to the President and the government. The member also recalled that it was President Mahinda Rajapaksa who rendered the greatest service to the people in the plantation sector.

Radhakrishnan made these remarks when he addressed mediamen after paying visits to the Malwatte and Asgiriya Chapter Mahanayake Theras on June 28.

He was also of the opinion that all the problems in the devolution of power proposals should be solved amicably prior to their implementation.
