“Economy is in a shambles with people starving” -UNP

(February 16, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Opposition and UNP Leader Ranil Wickramesinghe who was the chief guest at the opening of the Uva Paranagama UNP Office said that the Party was formulating a National policy incorporating true Sri Lankan traditions and values which will be implemented when UNP comes into power.

This move is to put the country back on the right track which this Govt . By its hankering after money and power has pushed it off the rails. The Govt.`s random printing of money and fiscal blunders have routed the economy with the inflation rate hitting an unprecedented level at 26 %.
Scores of security personnel are dying daily in the Wanni area. Innocent Tamils are being abducted and killed if they refused ransom. Economy is in a shambles with people starving. The Govt. which is itself in total disarray has only one answer to all these problems - camouflages and effective cover ups suppressing the Media and oppressing those who expose and oppose Govt. misdeeds, he asserted.
