The Jathika Nidahas Peramuna (JNP or NFF) national organizer refuted the photograph of Wimal Weerawansa with UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon and its explanation by Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna Parliamentarian Vijitha Herath at a media briefing.
JNP national organizer Jayantha Samaraweera, taking part in the Vada Pitiya discussion programme on TV Derana said that the photograph shown by Vijitha Herath was of some other meeting where JNP leader Wimal Weerawansa met Ban Ki Moon in the presence of President Mahinda Rajapaksa and not when the Secretary General visited Sri Lanka in May last year.
JVP’s Vijitha Herath had shown a photograph of Wimal Weerawansa shaking hand with Ban Ki Moon while President Rajapaksa looks on.
Explaining the fast engaged in by Mr. Weerawansa, Mr. Samaraweera said that it had gained the attention of the world with almost all media discussing the incident and that it was a success in one way.
