United National Party (UNP) General Secretary Tissa Attanayake said there was a conspiracy against Minister Basil Rajapaksa from within the government itself.

Mr. Attanayake was responding to a question posed by the media which asked Mr. Attanayake to respond to a statement made by Minister Basil Rajapaksa about the absence of a strong opposition which could pose a political threat to the United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) government.

“He can’t make such statements sitting on a pedestal because history has shown us that people who had made such statements had crashed to the ground,” he said. (HF)

Tissa should be more concerned about the conspiracies within the UNP than worry about Basil.
