SF backs Govt’s anti-corruption efforts, rejects Nov. 21 rally
Colombo, Nov. 16 (Daily Mirror) - Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka says he is pleased with the direction of the current government, citing its stance against corruption despite limited economic improvement.
Speaking to the media, Fonseka said that while the economy has not seen major change, he appreciates the government’s policies and actions to curb corruption and its refusal to protect individuals accused of wrongdoing.
He also said he will not participate in the opposition rally scheduled for the 21st, noting that he spent 15 years working closely with parties now in the opposition and understands them well.
According to Fonseka, none of those parties contributed positively to the country.
He added that the groups organising the November 21 rally are the same factions responsible for holding the nation back for 75 years. “If the people are misled again by what they are saying now, I do not believe the country will benefit,” he said.
