Chief incumbent of Kotte Naga Vihara Ven. Maduluwawe Sobhitha Thera has been asked by many personalities in the UNP and others to intervene and settle the dispute among various factions of their party, reports say.

Foremost among these pleas came from civil society activists. A majority view is that the opposition and civil society activists should give top priority to pacify this situation which is a great advantage for the Rajapaksa regime to carry on with its despotic activities.

Accordingly, attorneys Shiral Lakthilake and Maithree Gunaratne were due to meet Ven. Sobhitha Thera this afternoon (15) as representatives of the anti-Ranil faction. Mr. Ranil Wickremesinghe was due to send several of his representatives for the meeting too. This meeting will have an effect on the success of the discussion to be held later in the day between Ranil Wickremesinghe, Karu Jayasuriya and Sajith Premadasa.
