Let UNPers attend rally-Karu

16 October 2012 10:52 am

Former United National Party (UNP) Deputy Leader and MP Karu Jayasuriya had requested party Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe to permit party members to participate in United Bikkhu Front organised Hyde Park rally to urge the abolition of the executive presidency.

In his letter to Mr. Wickremesinghe, Mr. Jayasuriya had emphasised that the people expected the UNP to give leadership to a joint opposition effort to bring about good governance in Sri Lanka.

He said this was essential at a time when all other opposition parties are taking a stand on the abolishing of the executive presidency.  (Yohan Perera)
