Wimal urges President to release names

Housing and Social Welfare Minister Wimal Weerawansa has requested President Maithripala Sirisena to disclose the list of names connected to the Central Bank Bond Scam, so far not released, for the public to know them.

Addressing a public meeting held yesterday at Homagama Town, Minister Weerawansa said that he would also request the President to disclose the outcome of Presidential Commission Reports on the conflicting situations both in Dharga Town Aluthgama, and Teldeniya in Kandy.

He said as in the days of the British Monarch controlling the affairs of Sri Lanka, those following in their footstepps, try to impose their will in our decision making. But we are no more colony under the British Empire but a sovereign state, the Minister said.

“They are trying to change government here by changing heads from one side to the other. But it would be a futile effort on their part,” he added. Minister Weerawansa also criticised the attempts made to interested parties to promulgate a Federal Constitution and touching on the current administration he emphasised that what Sri Lanka has at present is a temporary government and Ranil, Sumanthiran and the clan know not what they talk.

Referring to the present state UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe is in, Minister Weerawansa said that he feels sorry for not even Sajith Premadasa uttered a word in favour of him, but only Anura Dissanayake of the JVP and Sumanthiran of the TNA speaks on behalf of him.

Addressing those present, Minister Weerawansa asked whether the three and a half year government under the Premiership of Ranil, they got everything that he had promised to deliver in political platforms. He pointed out that under the UNF led government, Hambantota was given to foreigners and if had continued to rule, he would have given the Mattala Airport, the Kankasanthurai Port; Palali Airport, Trincomalee Harbour, East Terminal of the Colombo Harbour, all Expressways and permission would have been given to foreigners to claim ownership of land.
