United National Party (UNP) and Opposition Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe yesterday stressed the need for sharia law to instill discipline in the rank and file of the party.

“We will have to deal with those who sabotage the current UNP membership drive in the way that the Muslims deal with those who disobey the teachings of Islam,” he said addressing a meeting in Galewala last evening.

He said that everyone in the party should work together to defeat the common enemy which was the present government.

Mr. Wickremesinghe said those who did not participate in the party’s membership drive in the Central Province would be severally dealt with. He said he had instructed UNP General Secretary Tissa Attanayake to appoint a committee to take action against those who did not participate in the drive.

He said ten percent of the party members had kept away from the party’s reorganising programme in Kandy and Dambulla.

Central Provincial Council member Sanjeewa Kaviratne has been appointed as one of the organisers for Dambulla. An additional organiser is to be appointed for the area in the near future. (Yohan Perera)

So,Ranil indirectly accepts that his party members are babarians.

Well said "Disgusted Citizen" and "ralahamy"

ralahamy Monday, 04 March 2013 08:47 AM

Ranil should be circumcised before he talks of Sharia

Disgusted Citizen Monday, 04 March 2013 08:21 AM

With due respect to you Mr. Wickremasinghe, who said that the Government is the common enemy when you are dancing to the tunes of the Government???

What does that fool know about shariah law. He is implying it in a purely negative light , as if Shariah law is a brutal quick fix.

DCOL Monday, 04 March 2013 07:28 AM

So, First they all have to start by chopping some of the Male body parts...

ANTON Monday, 04 March 2013 07:14 AM

Yep he is an expert of adopting SHARIA law, long ago he implemented that rule in Batalanda.

Kingsley Wijesinhe Monday, 04 March 2013 07:06 AM

Ranil has been partially mad for some time. Now he seems to be completely mad.

LOL Monday, 04 March 2013 06:52 AM

So when he becomes President , will introduce Sharia law to country to bring the discipline ??

your mom Monday, 04 March 2013 12:00 AM

imposing sharia law on unp means you, as the leader should be tortured and stoned to death. via DM Android App

Saradial Monday, 04 March 2013 05:00 AM

As Sharia Law all corrupted members (who involved in any corruption, Un lawful) has to be removed from party, lets start from that?

Rohan Monday, 04 March 2013 04:54 AM

Looks like you can not run your own party. You introduce so many laws to party people. I think that lot don't like you. If not every one will join with you for any thing.

Andrew Monday, 04 March 2013 12:00 AM

Hello Ranil, Sharia law is not a joke for u. You are the biggest joker of the country. via DM Android App

BudinOz Monday, 04 March 2013 03:58 AM

Any law would do, as long as Ranil remains the UNP leader.

smarq Monday, 04 March 2013 12:00 AM
