MPs want Mahinda as PM hold secret talks with Ranil!

Tuesday, 26 May 2015

Many SLFP MPs, who speak up for making former president Mahinda Rajapaksa as the prime minister, are holding secret talks with PM Ranil Wickremesinghe, say sources at the PM’s office

Foremost among them is former media minister Keheliya Rambukwella and former foreign affairs minister Prof. G.L. Peiris.

Recently, meeting the PM at a friend’s home, Keheliya pleaded with him to accept him back to the UNP. The main reason for that is the case filed against him over his abuse of state property. “Oh, Sir. That is a fabricated case. Accept me back to the party and cover it up. I will easily win Kandy for you.”

The PM has not responded to the request. Also present at this meeting was Galle district MP Manusha Nanayakkara. Both have pleaded with the PM to pardon them and give them nominations from the UNP, as there was no future for the SLFP. G.L. has sent a message to the PM, seeking his pardon and asking that he be made a national list MP, as all in his family are original UNPers. The PM has not responded to any of these requests.
