The all party conference which was summoned by the National Movement for Social Justice is a positive step as such a move to form a common platform is what people want today, UNP Deputy Leader Ruwan Wijewardene said yesterday. Mr. Wijewardene who spoke to Daily Mirror about Saturday’s conference said it is a good thing for the opposition parties to get on to a common platform to talk of issues faced by the people.“No political party in the opposition can go on its own and do their own thing as what people want is a common platform to resolve their issues,” Mr. Wijewardene said. “The UNP Leader may participate in the next round of discussions,” he added. Tamil Progressive Alliance (TPA) Leader Mano Ganesan said the discussion focused on few points including the abolition of the 20th amendment, addressing economic issue and assuring independence of the judiciary. I proposed that the parties should also focus on national integration and a solution to the national issue, I said the TPA will participate in future discussions only if the parties focus on national integration.

Bond scams including Greek bond scams started from 2003. So, no issue of any scam.
