REFUGEE

Sources from Temple Trees revealed that the President has made a request from the mahanayakes to ask Chief of Defence Staff General Sarath Fonseka to withdraw his letter of resignation. The President was scheduled to meet with the mahanayakes in Kandy on Friday (13) to discuss the matter.

Sources also said a campaign is to be launched by Transport Minister Dullas Alahapperuma in the next few days with the President’s blessings, calling on the President not to accept the General’s resignation letter as he was still an essential part of the security force.
