Minister Wimal Weerawanshe today requested the government to obtain a fresh mandate of the people through a referendum or a snap election. The Minister who is also the leader of the National Freedom of Front was vocal critic of the US led resolution in Geneva and requested all Sri Lankans to boycottproducts originating for the US.

The Minister said that the US and other global super powers had brought the resolution against the country at the UNHRC in order to satisfy LTTE elements. He requested the people to do what they can to protect the country against the US and said that the people should gradually move to using local products.( Yohan Perera)
