UNP General Secretary Palitha Range Bandara yesterday invited SJB MPs Harsha de Silva, Eran Wickramaratne, Kabir Hashim and Thalatha Athukorala to rejoin the UNP.
Addressing the media in Colombo he said the UNP policies have not been implemented in the SJB due to the influence of people like G. L. Peiris, Nalaka Godahewa, Sarath Fonseka and politicians like them.
He made a specific invitation to all MPs in the SJB who are at loggerheads with their party leader to join the UNP.
He also said many prominent SJB members are being sidelined by the leadership to accommodate outsiders.
While emphasising it is time to forget party politics, he invited all political parties to support the President’s effort to create a stable nation.
