REFUGEE

UPFA Southern Provincial Councilor and SLFP Akmeemana organizer Nishantha Mutuhettigama says that although the credit for ending the war was with the government, the war was not fought by the President or his family members and the General who truly fought the war, but was treated unfairly, would come forward as the common candidate.

Councilor Mutuhettigama had made this statement during a discussion with the Irida Lanka newspaper.
“Our leaders are now in the jungles. We are trying to take them on to the right path. The war was fought by the people in the South. President Rajapaksa did not fight in the war. None of the President’s family members also fought in the war. But we have the respect for
handling the war. What has now happened to the General who carried out the war? People will stand against this. General will come forward as the common candidate,” Mutuhettigama had further observed during the discussion.
