Fonseka in firing mood over portfolio
A planned news conference last Wednesday by Regional Development Minister Sarath Fonseka was called off at the eleventh hour.
The reason – senior members of the United National Party (UNP), particularly close associates of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, had made an appeal to him not to go ahead with the event. They said it would only embarrass the Premier.
The appeal came after news reached them that Field Marshal Fonseka, who was denied the portfolio of Law and Order, had planned to hit out at the top political leadership. This was after a meeting he had with President Maithripala Sirisena.
The news conference has now been fixed for April 2.
