UNP warns against rabble rousing politicians and journalists

(March 30, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Addressing a media briefing at the UNP media unit today ( 30 Mar) , UNP M.P. Lakshman Seneviratne said , UNP is the only party since its inauguration has not changed its policies , color or symbol unlike other parties for political or other gains; and so are its present members . Hence, regardless of what insidious attempts are made by interested Opposition politicians and media sections ,UNP cannot be dismantled or de stabilized, he added..

Referring to various reports attributed to him in some sections of the media , he said , his speeches were given a mischievous twist by these elements to achieve their dastardly ends . It is unfortunate that some Journalists attached to the ‘Irudhina ‘ newspaper are seeking to drive a wedge into the UNP, publishing false and misleading news about some UNP Parliamentarians and the party as these Journalists are working to achieve their personal agendas .

Answering questions regarding the alleged conflicts within the UNP and the statements made by Govt. Ministers like Nimal Siripala De Silva , he stated , the Health Minister has made his Ministry most sick because he wastes his time in gossip mongering instead of solving the Ministry’s gigantic problems . He is a Minister who does in Office what he ought to do at home. No wonder .his Ministry is the most deficient and defective , he noted. In any case , all those who tried to blow the differences, if any out of proportion got blown away finally , to their great disappointment , he asserted.

In conclusion, he urged the media to make reports accurately and fully instead of publishing portions to suit their own ends and agendas.
