 (Lanka-e-News-03.May.2012, 6.30PM) ‘If the Govt. says it is stabilizing the country politically and economically , then it must come to the select committee , and as opposition we are prepared to give support to it by our participation , but it is the Govt.’s responsibility to provide the necessary environment conducive to it. On the other hand if the Govt. addresses us as ‘Tigers’, then that environment cannot be created’ , the opposition leader Ranil Wickremesinghe for the first time expressed this sentiment today.
