Former Prime Minister and UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe has instructed his party not to engage in politics at the time when the country is facing COVID-19 pandemic.

“People are able to judge how party members would behave when they capture power from the way they behave now and when they were in the opposition.

Therefore it is better that Unpers refrain from engaging in party politics when the country is facing a pandemic crisis.” He told this to some MPS whom he met yesterday at his residence. (Yohan Perera)

Mr. Ranil seems to be getting some sense knocked in to him by somebody or he has started to see reality. However where he has missed the bus as usual is the second paragraph which talks of " when they capture power ......" . It would be more appropriate " the remote possibility of capturing power for about two or three MPs would be from the way they behave AND HOW THEY SUPPORT MY PRESIDENT GOTABAYA RAJAPAKSHA'S MECHANISM NOW, FOR THE ELECTIONS AND EVEN AFTER THAT. Otherwise Ranil will join the rot for sure and will spell the end of his political carrier if not already.

Ranil is a Rajapakse family golaya. He not only ruined the country he also ruined UNP.
