The recent Cabinet reshuffle has further empowered the United National Party (UNP) and weakened the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), said Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) leader G.L. Peiris.

He told a news conference that several prominent ministries like Social Welfare, Social Empowerment, Labour and Trade Union Relations, which were under the SLFP, had now been grabbed by the UNP to centralize the powers of the government.

“It is evident that the government is run by UNP policies. What is pathetic is that even the SLFPers follow these policies without considering the fact that they are harmful to the country. At a time when Sri Lanka is battered by political and economic catastrophes because of UNP governance, the SLFP should announce its stance to continue with the government," Prof. Peiris said. 

"The government is not concerned about extraditing Arjuna Mahendran, the mastermind behind the Central Bank Bond scam, to Sri Lanka. Mr. Mahendran is not hiding himself but being hidden by the government. If the government is unable to arrest a single person, then we cannot expect any good from the government,” Prof. Peiris added.

    Do not worry about UNP, worry about your own party SLPP which is full of rogues. Every vote a citizen gives SLPP its a vote for Corruption, Bribery, Murder and Rape.

    He is trying to make MY3 unpopular by making these allegations. The fact of the matter is UNP has now become unpopular thanks to the Central Bank robbers and at coming elections this is going to be a huge advantage for the SLFP.

    Don't give up seeya ..... we know you a desperate, by hook or crook to bring back MARA to have a life. Don't you feel shame to go to this level seeya, at this stage of your life, do something constructive rather than going behind murderers and 3rd class fellows like MARA and Wimale.

    Mr. GL..gthe govnmnt is UNP it has to be followed UNP policies, when you were in the UNP what policy did you follow !!!!!!!! do not talk for sake of talking or just to talk (may be oldage utterance), be wise

    saliya Friday, 04 May 2018 05:03 PM

    so what is the problem. UNP won the general election and all these should be under them.You have abandoned the SLFP and joined the crooks at SLPP which is destroying the SLFP more.

    Solicitor Friday, 04 May 2018 07:05 PM

    Prof- you had your time. Now please go home and relax. Politics is over for you. This is my humble advise.
