Due to the lack of public representation in provincial authorities, there is a difficulty in gathering public support in the event of disasters, leader of the People’s United Front (PUF), MP Dinesh Gunawardena states.

He stated this yesterday (20) at a press conference organized by the PUF in Colombo.

Meanwhile, Minister Arjuna Ranatunga stated that politicians who had obediently assisted various arbitrary activities during the reign of the previous government were now raising various accusations at the present government.
