The United National Party (UNP) today accused the government of attempting to save face by getting down Indian celebrities and showing a rugby festivity.

The public cannot be deceived, no matter what festival is shown, UNP Spokesperson MP Gayantha Karunathilaka said.

He questioned why the government is not organizing a festival to uplift ‘volleyball,’ which is the national sport of Sri Lanka.

On the cost of fuel, speaking at a press conference in Colombo, Gayantha claimed that despite oil price presently declining in the global market, fuel prices in Sri Lanka continues to remain at a very high level.

Due to what reason is the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) incurring losses when the Lanka IOC gaining profits, he inquired from pressmen.
