Do not sentence Kurunegala to the same fate as Colombo - UNP
September 13, 2013 01:46 pm
The UNP called on government
action to prevent Kurunegala suffering the same fate as Colombo in the wake of charges
that part of the heroin consignments flowing into Colombo now finds its way
into Kurunegala.
Speaking at a press
conference held today (September 13) in Colombo, UNP MP Eran Wickremaratne
stated that four or five parliamentarians were involved in bringing down stocks
of ethanol while the acts of a few in parliament were bringing the entire
parliament into disrepute.
The MP said that the
sons of the government candidates for the upcoming Provincial Council elections
were fighting amongst themselves while the opposition campaigns were being
carried out peacefully.
He added that 90% of such
events in the recent past have involved members of the government party.
