(Lanka-e-News-24.May.2012, 11.55PM) The opposition leader Ranil Wickremesinghe when addressing the former UNP MP’s circle at the Sri Kotha, made open and scathing denunciations against MaRa and Tiran conspiracy which led Fonseka to become an external prisoner after promising to get Fonseka full freedom,and thereby duping the people . The opposition leader went on to explain the damage that had been done by this duplicity. He made this controversial exposure when speaking at Sri Kotha today. As the main party of the joint opposition , the UNP says , all the cases which were piled on and filed against Fonseka run counter to international agreements and Parliamentary privileges and therefore they ought to be withdrawn. Since 2011 December the Govt. was telling Gen. Fonseka is to be released , and finally when he was released from the Welikade prison , it did not announce on what basis he is being released. Amidst various people expressing various views, whether an ordinary life can be led by him was one of the views .The govt. tried to instill the false view among the people that former army Commander Fonseka had been granted full release.
