JVP too will be labeled as Tiger associates, says Gayantha

20.11.2007

United National Party (UNP) media spokesman Gayantha Karunathilaka said at a press briefing held at the Opposition Leader's office today that the most unstable present Government's only savior was Prabakaran.

He said that the Government behaved shamefully at the budget removing the security of the TNA MPs, abducting the son-in-law of MP K. Kanagasabesan to force him not to vote against budget, attempting to terrify UNP MP Sagala Rathnayaka by sending Army to his house and trying to take MPs Ravi Karunanayaka, Wajira Abewardhana and Earl Gunasekara to the CID.

He said that the expenses for the firecrackers and the posters to celebrate the budget victory obtained through misuse of state power would also fall on the shoulders of the public. Only the colossal cabinet of the Rajapakse regime will benefit from this budget while the people will lose, he said.

UNP MP Gayantha Karunathilaka says that the only savior for the Government is Prabakaran whom the Government takes cover to increase prices and impose new taxes. The budget win is also depicted as a loss to the Tigers and Elephants. JVP too will be tagged as Tiger accomplices.

Karunathilaka said that all these showed the weakness of the Government and the fall of this unstable Government could be at the coming third reading of the budget.
