SRI LANKA
The former general secretary of Sri Lanka’s United National Party’s Tissa Attanayake said yesterday that he would return to national politics as a UNP member in the upcoming elections. Addressing a rally in Geli Oya, Kandy Attanayake said though he supported former President Rajapaksa during the last Presidential Elections he always remained a UNP man at heart and did not move to the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP). “I feel that this is the correct time to get back into politics. I will always stand with the people’s hopes and represent the general public,” he said. He said he was away from the politics for certain period as it was a transition time in politics and was not the right time to take a political decision. He said that he wasn’t satisfied with the current political situation in the country.-Courtesy dailymirror.lk
