The meeting is scheduled to be held today evening at the President\u2019s House.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe speaking at an event in Kandy challenged the Joint Opposition that if they can bring 10,000 to the streets against the Government, then his Government was prepared to also bring in more people to the streets in a show of solidarity to the Government.<\/p>\n
