SAARC: Govt.`s absurdity in gaiety and self indulgence says UNP



(July 24, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Joseph Michael Perera condemned the Govt. for evicting the hundreds of poor families from their homes where they have been living for over 30 years, despite a Court stay order against the Govt. move.

Never has any Govt. caused such suffering on its own people to host a SAARC summit like this Rajapakse regime. Finally, what benefit is going to accrue to the people? After all a Govt. is elected for the welfare of the people, not for its own selfish welfare or wasteful experiments, he asserted.

By ignoring the Court order, it has committed a contempt of Court offence, he added.
