The United National Party (UNP) has urged the Government not to politicize the relief distribution process during the curfew period.

UNP General Secretary Akila Viraj Kariyawasam said both relief funds and goods distribution must be depoliticized.

He said an independent mechanism should be in place for the distribution of relief.

"We are sad to note the politicization of relief distribution to the people. Therefore we request the government not to play around with people's hunger" he added. (Yohan Perera)

This power-hungry Rajapaksa Mafia Clan is doing everything it can to hide its failures to fight the virus and is now trying to buy votes. Bigot and shameful behavior.

Politilization is like a cancer. Now it has already spread every hook and corner in the country. All political parties who had ruled this country after the 1972 constitution is completely responsible for the present situation.
