UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe making a special statement today said the UNP was willing to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government ‘to support the country in dealing with the aftermath of the impending resolution at the UNCHR,’

The opposition leader said the passing of the resolution is a certainty and the UNP did not want to see Sri Lanka being relegated as a ‘Pariah State’.

The UNP would support the government in implementing the LLRC, and the 13^th Amendment and give the required assistance in solving the national issue, he said. (Pix by Waruna Wanniarachchi) (YP, Lahiru Pothmulla)

How come you don't report this in English?
"එල්ටීටීඊය පැහැරගත් අපේ දරුවන් ගැන මානව හිමිකම් කොමිසම නිහඬයි"
අතුරුදන් වූවන්ගේ දෙමාපිය එකමුතු
එල්ටීටීඊ පැහැරගෙන ගිය අපේ දරුවන් ගැන මානව හිමිකම් කොමිසම කතා කරන්නේ නැතැයි මියගිය හා අතුරුදන් වූවන්ගේ දෙමාපිය එකමුතුවේ සාමාජික වව්නියාවේ කන්දසාමි මහතා පැවැසීය.
හෙතෙම එසේ පැවසුවේ ඊයේ (13 වැනිදා) කොළඹ පැවැති ප්‍රවෘත්ති සාකච්ඡාවකදීය.
තම පුතුන් දෙදෙනා පාසල නිමවී එද්දී එල්ටීටීඊ සාමාජිකයන් විසින් පැහැරගෙන ගිය බවත් අදට වසර 20 ක්‌ ඉක්‌මවා ඇති නමුත් තම දරුවන් පිළිබඳ කිසිදු තොරතුරක්‌ මෙතෙක්‌ ලැබී නැති බවත් ඒ මහතා කීවේය.
එසේම එල්ටීටීඊ ප්‍රහාර හේතුවෙන් වර්ෂ 2001 සිට 2007 කාලය ඇතුළත යුද හමුදා සෙබළුන් 21875 ක්‌ ඝාතනය කළ අතර එම ප්‍රහාර
එල්ටීටීඊ සංවිධානය විසින් වසර තිහක්‌ පුරා මේ රටේ සිංහල, දෙමළ, මුස්‌ලිම් භේදයකින් තොරව පැහැරගෙන ගිය හා මරා දැමූ දරුවන් ඇතුළු පුද්ගලයන් පිළිබඳව මානව හිමිකම් කොමිසම නිහඬ ප්‍රතිපත්තියක්‌ අනුගමනය කරමින් රජයට පමණක්‌ යුද අපරාධ චෝදනා එල්ල කිරීම තරයේ හෙළා දකින බවද ඒ මහතා කීවේය.

UNBIASED TREATMENT FOR ALL, AND THE PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED. RANIL OR SWAMIY IS NOT REQUIRED!

Marikkar Thursday, 14 March 2013 06:00 AM

Principal Clause of the MOU; permanent seats of opposition to UNP.

Angelo Wednesday, 13 March 2013 02:06 PM

very good decision .congradulation

Prof Wickramatillake Wednesday, 13 March 2013 12:16 PM

Timely move not to contest March 2014 elections as this guy knows he will lose for the 14th time (in Sinhalese, Kapanna bari atha imbeema!)

perumal Wednesday, 13 March 2013 12:09 PM

Subramaniam Swami has nothing to lose or gain but people of Sri Lanka are fast losing their fight for survival with this government.

kautilya Wednesday, 13 March 2013 11:40 AM

This would be a clandestine MOU. Ranil is with the government all the time

Cancer Wednesday, 13 March 2013 11:17 AM

You don't need to sign MoU's to support. Subramanian Swamy of Janata Dal is defending us in all forums. Did he sign MoU with the Govt???

dilip Wednesday, 13 March 2013 11:12 AM

the last photo tells every thing..........?

Nishan Wednesday, 13 March 2013 11:14 AM

Another great trap by Ranil. The government has promised to implement the LLRC and the 13th Amendment and now if they do so, they will have the full support of the opposition. Now the government has no excuse not to implement. They are going to be shown to be the liars that they are.

Sri Lankan Wednesday, 13 March 2013 10:20 AM

why dont you tell i want MR to be president till you die

kevin Wednesday, 13 March 2013 09:12 AM

this is wat we need....who ever rule this country should cope up with others and others should support where they think its correct and there is a need.....

Buffaloa Citizen Wednesday, 13 March 2013 10:09 AM

The question is can you trust this much notorious regime specifically after what has all happened?

silva Wednesday, 13 March 2013 10:13 AM

coffee,

silva Wednesday, 13 March 2013 10:07 AM

coffee time

Samantha Dikshith Wednesday, 13 March 2013 10:07 AM

Don't let cannibals to get gains when country is suffering. You know who are they :-). People who don't think about country and think about money are not worth living. So do your best for the country.

Gune Wednesday, 13 March 2013 10:10 AM

Well done sir,Lets get togather and safeguard the motherland.

Grace Wednesday, 13 March 2013 09:59 AM

If the opposition parties had cooperated with the parties in power since 1948 on crucial issues we will not be facing the UNCHR.

Yehiya Wednesday, 13 March 2013 10:02 AM

Ranil always spoil the soup.First he should know how to act with devil.

GURU Wednesday, 13 March 2013 10:01 AM

again a opposition with no strategies

SureshP Wednesday, 13 March 2013 09:56 AM

I thought you already had an unwritten MOU

kumar Wednesday, 13 March 2013 09:55 AM

A timely action by an opposition. Now it's up to the Govt. to decide.
