United National Party (UNP)?Assistant Leader, Parliamentarian Ravi Karunanayake today slammed Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) members and Government Ministers Dayasiri Jayasekera, Mahinda Amaraweera, John Seniviratne and S.B. Dissanayake.

Speaking at an election propaganda meeting in Kotahena today, Karunanayake said that?Dayasiri Jayasekera, Mahinda Amaraweera, John Seniviratne and S.B. Dissanayake had worked towards the defeat of President Maithripala Sirisena at the 2015 Presidential elections.

He says it was the UNP which worked for Sirisena’s victory while people like?Dayasiri Jayasekera, Mahinda Amaraweera, John Seniviratne and S.B. Dissanayake did the opposite.

However he says today those SLFP Ministers are speaking like they awoke from the dead.

Karunanayake says there is an attempt being made to put the UNP-led Government in trouble but that attempt will be defeated.

He also said that he will be making a special statement in Parliament tomorrow with regards to the treasury bond issue. (Colombo Gazette)
