President Said Joining Hands With UNP is For The Benefit Of The People
President Maithripala Sirisena has stated that even though some factions allege that he has betrayed the Sri Lanka Freedom Party by joining hands with the UNP, it was Mahinda Rajapakshe who signed an agreement with the UNP in March 2007, when he was functioning as the Secretary of the SLFP. All what he did was to defeat an action plan that was dangerous for the country. Instead he joined hands with the UNP for the benefit of the country and the people. President said this while attending an event held at the BMICH yesterday(8).
