Thursday, 19 April 2012

President Mahinda Rajapaksa has asked JHU Secretary, Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka and NFF Leader, Minister Wimal Weerawansa to commence a campaign against former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunge and Opposition Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe.

The President angered by the criticism leveled against the Alliance government’s foreign policies and the ethnic issue in India by Kumaratunge and Wickremesinghe. The President has asked the two ministers to immediately issue a media statement against the comments made by them and commence a massive media campaign as well.

Although Minister Dullas Alahapperuma on a Presidential directive has asked several senior ministers to make comments against Kumaratunge, the ministers have ignored the request.

The President has then assigned the task to Ranawaka and Weerawansa.
