President Ranil Wickremesinghe will be the Presidential candidate of the entire country and not of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) in the future Presidential Election, United National Party (UNP) General Secretary Palitha Range Bandara said.
He stated this speaking to the media at the Sirikotha Party headquarters in Pitakotte, yesterday.Responding to a statement made by his counterpart of the SLPP, MP Sagara Kariyawasam regarding the formation of a political alliance by the SLPP and the UNP, Range Bandara said the two Parties have not reached such an agreement yet.
Commenting on the brutal attack on the former Vice Chancellor of the Peradeniya University, the General Secretary said the UNP condemned that attack and law should be enforced strictly against the culprits. He said the People’s Struggle (Aragalaya) was also peaceful at the beginning but it became violent when the political parties such as the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB), JVP and the Frontline Socialist Party joined it.
The SJB party has no unity among the Party members and respect for their leader. Someone who is unable to control the party members speaking about toppling governments is ridiculous, Range Bandara further said.
