Some ex-United National Party (UNP) ministers were attempting to mislead the public by proclaiming that the country was leading towards anarchy, Public Administration, Home Affairs and Justice Minister Susil Premajayantha said today.

Addressing a news briefing at the Prime Minister’s Office, he said it was during their Government that the country stagnated and remained in anarchy.

“Ex-UNP ministers including ousted premier Ranil Wickremesinghe pretend to be genuine and smart before envoys and international community and tell them that Sri Lanka has shifted to the Westminster system from the Presidential system,” the Minister said.

He said it was absolutely untrue and added the executive powers vested with the President under the Constitution in 1978 remained unchanged except a few powers which were curtained in the 19th amendment.

“We can assure that this Government won’t let country lead to anarchy and plunge into chaos as experienced in the previous national government,” the Minister added.

He proceeded to say that the newly appointed ministers had been appointed based on scientific method unlike in the previous government. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

    The envoys and international community are smart enough not to recognise the illegal govt. So whatever nonsense you preach over the media while hiding behind the army is irrelevant. This must be a huge problem for you.

    'newly appointed ministers had been appointed based on scientific method' Ananda Aluthgamage, Vadivel Suresh, Asoka Priyantha, Wasantha Senanayake, are few examples.

    What scientific method the ministers appointed, does any MP has got the basic education, can anyone speak proper english. Is that the basic. First see the basic requirements of the people, and they who the one voted you to sit in the parliament and you are all enjoying luxury life leaving all the people in difficulty.

    Misleading the people of Sri Lanka is the motto of the UNP ever since they came to power.
