The minority parties who are working towards forming an alliance are to meet in Parliament today. A leader of one of the parties in the alliance told Daily Mirror yesterday that they would meet to discuss issues pertaining to the proposed alliance.

Asked if the alliance will field a candidate for upcoming presidential election the sources said no decision has been arrived at yet. “We will discuss upcoming elections when a poll is declared,” the party leader said.

Meanwhile one of the Tamil parties, which are also a part of the minority alliance, the Democratic Peoples Front led by MP Mano Ganeshan, is expected to sign an agreement on a common opposition alliance with the UNP today.
