Claiming it is the real United National Party (UNP), the former UNP MPs who joined the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) said yesterday its Working Committee had decided to free the party from the clutches of those whom SJB alleged were involved in deals with the government.

SJB General Secretary Ranjith Madduma Bandara, Kabir Hashim and Lakshman Kiriella, who held a joint news conference yesterday confirmed that its working committee had approved a resolution to this effect.

“We are still UNPers and we have decided to unite the UNP and to free it from the clutches of those who are involved in deals with the government,” Mr. Hashim said. He said they would take action against their suspension from the UNP soon after the election.

Mr. Kiriella said SJB was formed with the approval of the UNP working committee. “Sajith Premadasa was made the Leader of SJB and Ranjith Madduma Bandara was named General Secretary with the approval of the UNP working committee,” he said.

He said five President’s Counsel would appear on behalf of the UNPers whose party membership was suspended. “We will start working from Sirikotha after the elections,” Mr. Kiriella said.

Meanwhile, Filed Marshal Sarath Fonseka said he would file action against the suspension from the UNP membership at an appropriate time. (Yohan Perera)

    Ranil, Akila, Ravi and Navin should be kick out of UNP as they are working for Mahinda Rajapakse. All of them are involved in bribery and corruption.

    Its time to kick out Ranil, Akila, Ravi and Navin who have a deal with Mahinda. They are all spent forces in UNP and are jealous of the support Sajith has received.

    Former President, Sirisena, also known as "Janadipathy Thatha" completely destroyed the SLFP due to his incompetency and ignorance despite the mandate given to him by people in 2015. Ranil Wickramasinghe is an undisciplined manipulator who wants to be the eternal emperor of Sri Lanka by getting rid of his party supporters. This man has the audacity to ask a mandate from people again despite his past political mishaps. This time around people must elect a governments who respect people and democracy. It is the duty of people to elect a leader who is truly committed for democratic society.
