UNF leader Ranil Wickremesinghe said today (Feb. 15) that there were no
intentions whatsoever of gaining power through bloody coups.
It is only through blessings of the people at a free and fair election that we
will gain power, he said.
By using its baseless and incorrect allegation, the government has arrested Gen.
Fonseka and his supporters, who are yet to be informed in writing of the charges
against them, he said.
The government is also using the same allegation to take Gen. Fonseka out of
politics, which should be halted forthwith, said Mr. Wickremesinghe.
He also demanded that the detained general and his supporters be released
immediately.
