The government is to send a delegation to Kandy to meet the Mahanayakas of the four Nikayas to explain the circumstances that led to the arrest and detention of General Sarath Fonseka, General Secretary of the SLFP Maitripala Sirisena said.

The monks had recently objected to the government decision to arrest General Fonseka over various charges which are yet to be formally filed against the former Army Chief. (SAJ)
