Almost all prominent members of the United National Party (UNP) have agreed on the reorganization of the party, State Minister Dr. Harsha de Silva said yesterday.

Dr. De Silva said this at the opening of the Janaliya Self employment project in Kotte last morning.

“Party Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe is also currently discussing on the reorganization of the party, “he said.

"No Confidence motion against the Prime Minister has nothing to do with the reorganization of UNP and Joint Opposition MPs should not get involved in it," he added responding to a statement made by some JO MPs who have said some UNPers are also supporting the motion against the Prime Minister.

He also said he and State Ministers Ajith P. Perera and Eran Wickramaratne had joined JHU Leader Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka to fight for the inaction of Judicature Bill.

"People wanted us to bring robbers behind bars and that is why this legislation has to be passed,” he said while stating that a number of petitions have been filed in favour of the Bill.

Asked about the move by the SLFP to oppose the Bill, Dr. De Silva said no robber will back the Bill. “Which robber will back the Judicature Bill," he questioned.

Further, he said the request made by Buddhist monks that the Bill should be enacted soon should be heeded. (Yohan Perera)

Bill must be passed with few amendments on some of the objections raised before SC that appear to be valid. Once they are fixed they cannot oppose

Many changes, without changing the leader.

Why cannot some straight thinking guys like you tell your leader in black and white what needs to be done. The entire country knows that Time is running out

Please note that the UNP is not a property of the UNP members only and they do not own it either. Whatever decisions they take must also be in favor of all the people who votes for the UNP. What Ranil is doing is very wrong by hanging onto the leader ship and not allowing someone else get a chance.

Well said Harsha. Keep going we need strong politicians like you. Its time to lock those rogues.
