The Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) is reportedly divided on three lines of thinking with a dozen of MPs toughening their position that they should team-up with former President Mahinda Rajapaksa and another similar number wanting to proceeds with the unity government with some internal adjustments, it is learnt.

In the third category, there are seven SLFPers trying to join the United National Party (UNP) for their future political activities.

The SLFPers, who want to quit the government, have already indicated their position to President Maithripala Sirisena about their position. There are 43 SLFP MPs serving in the government as Cabinet, State and Deputy Ministers currently.

The President has asked them to stay for one month. Meanwhile, Mr. Rajapaksa met with the President last week. According to sources, President’s brother Dudley Sirisena has reportedly arranged the meeting for the two leaders to meet.

It has been done in an effort to build confidence between the two leaders. (Kelum Bandara)

FIRST OF ALL OUR POLITICIANS MUST BE MADE AWARE OF THE ACTUAL COLOURS OF THE ELEPHANTS AND THE HUMAN HANDS.

The results in the local government election shows that the SLFP had been rejected by the people.

Party heading for a disaster,there is no discipline,ministers pulling into different directions, all the ministers have become spokesmen for the party. This is the worst thing and a joke. Funniest part is leader appears to be terribly under obligation to each and every one. Leader does not know as to how to delegate the authorities with control and have discipline in the party. Leader should lead and members must follow him.

There is no confidence on Sirisena whatsoever.

We need unity between MS and MR... to Unite and take the Country Forward for all.... as one Nation. No other can achieve this task given the external pressure.

Though they are divided on 3 lines, their final goal is to achieve personal benefits other than benefits for the country and people. The biggest terrorists of this country are these.

At the end of the tunnel all politicians are aiming at to have a luxury life for themselves and kith and kin and not to develop this country.
