6 February 2013 08:29 pm

Responding to a question asked by Opposition United National Party (UNP) Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe, the government said it would make an announcement in Parliament today on the religious tension between the Sinhalese and Muslims.

Soon after Mr. Wickremesinghe’s statement in the House yesterday, House Leader Nimal Siripala de Silva said the opposition leader had raised some points based on his assumptions.  

“Some of your points are based on assumptions. We will make an official statement tomorrow,” he said.
