(July 17, Jaffna , Sri Lanka Guardian)The UNP, the main Opposition party, which has always steadfastly fought for the rights and betterment of all communities and ethnic harmony launched its election campaign yesterday (16 Jul) for the forthcoming local Council election in Jaffna.
The UNP Gen. secretary Tissa Attanayake, UNP M.P. Dr Jayalath Jayawardena and UNP Mayoral candidate for Jaffna Municipal Council and others who traveled to Jaffna , commenced their campaign after first worshipping at the Nallur Temple in Jaffna. Addressing a news conference later , Dr. Jayawardena highlighted the sufferings of the IDPs who are now reduced to the level of slaves in the camps .They are silenced by fear to talk . The UNP will stand by the hopes the people of Jaffna are reposing in it , he asserted.
As the Govt. is pummeled from all sides by divergent opinions and its political allies , it is unable to implement the 13th amendment nor solve the ethnic issue effectively. It is only the UNP which acts sincerely in the interests of all communities can solve the ethnic problem , he pinpointed. .jpg)
