UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe said that the media who wrote against him during the past week must apologise to the UNP.
“They wrote false stories against us for the fact UNP members did not participate at the court hearing. But at the end the Supreme Court itself determined that the UNP stance was right all along,” he said.
The UNP leader made these remarks at its party head quarters Sirikotha inaugurating the parties’ membership drive.
“The government has messed everything in this country including education, free health service and other sectors. Now they have turned their heads on the Judiciary and are harassing the Chief Justice. There must be a stop to this and we must ensure that the UNP is brought to power to restore all these sectors by 2014,” he said. (YP, HF)

Someone said he is a man with brains. Most probably he must be sitting on it. The whole country has come to know his double acting capabilities.

This Ranil is silently waiting until people refuse current government & hand-over power to him. Ranil should show his ability to control rulers wrong-acts. Otherwise how we can expect you to be the Guardian of Sri Lanka. You are a very selfish & disabled man. At least start a hunger-strike now & it's good for your health atleast.
People need a strong man to lead the country. Eventhough MR does lot of corruptions he safeguards the interests of people. He protects his brother basil & same way he protects Sri Lankans against any foreign interference.

UNP is not in a postion to provide leadership to Sri Lanka. They cannot even their own party. Sri Lanka needs other options in the opposition.

We must ensure that the UNP is brought to power to restore all these sectors by 2014 as Ranil said and We must divide this country and give Tamil Elaam as Ranil's masters expected.

Janaki Kalansuriya Monday, 07 January 2013 11:03 AM
This may be a tall call AJI, with all of them behaving like circus clowns. Ranil must start by at least defending himself and earn some self respect. By his silence so far and his aloofness, he's now far removed from the people as a potential leader.

The way the country is heading, we don't need to divide, but it will be in pieces........
