To be the Leader of the UNP, one has to contest, be in Parliament, and many other things. However, right now there is a very good understanding between General Sarath Fonseka\u2019s party and the UNP. There are many common issues that we believe in. There are discussions going on. I think General Sarath Fonseka himself says that the UNP and a wider section of parties coming together will be for the good of the country. We are aware of the mischief makers who are trying to create a rift among our parties. Most of us don\u2019t want to let that happen; we want to make sure there is a common alliance of likeminded people and likeminded forces.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":57660,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,2187,1,2375],"tags":[5915,5916],"class_list":["post-57659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colombotelegraph","category-most-popular","category-news","category-stories","tag-sarath-fonseka-civic-rights","tag-unp-leadership-and-sarth-fonseka"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
