PM orders Marikkar to apologize to president

UNP leader, PM Ranil Wickremesinghe has ordered MP S.M. Marikkar to apologize to president Maithripala Sirisena over the strongly critical
remark made by him. He issued the order at the UNP working committee meeting at Sirikotha yesterday (17).

 

The PM told the meeting that the opposition would stand to gain from a clash between the UNP and the president. Therefore, there should be no
unnecessary clashes to make the opposition stronger, he said.

The PM also advised Ranjan Ramanayake to adhere to the party stand, noting that he has been making conflicting remarks to the media.
