Deputy Minister in hot water The Up-country People's Front (UPF) along with Ceylon Workers' Congress (CWC) and Western Province People's Front (WPPF) last Friday called on all those "who are affectionate to and interested in the welfare of up-country Indian origin people" to join hands in the demonstration scheduled to be held tomorrow in Colombo opposing and condemning the utterances of the Deputy Minister Mervin Silva, which, those parties claim, have severely hurt the feelings of all Sri Lankans. In a press conference held last Friday leader of the UPF P. Chandrasekaran said that all up-country parties, despite their political differences, had agreed to show their opposition vehemently. He vowed that they could no longer tolerate such an insult made upon the whole community whom his party represents and would continuously display their opposition until an appropriate action was taken. CWC's Colombo district coordinator R. Yogarajan, Provincial Council member of WPPF Prakash Ganeshan, UPF parliamentarian P. Rathakrushnan and UNP parliamentarian M. Maheshwaran were also present at the meeting.(TS) |
