UNP MP Karu Jayasuriya said today he did not believe UNP MP Dayasiri Jayasekara will cross over to the Government.

He said rumours were being spread about Dayasiri crossing over but don’t believe in such wild rumours.

“Don’t believe in them it’s not wise to do so. Dayasiri is one who loves the party and is very dedicated to it. I do not believe he will do such a thing at this time. There can be certain issues that may cause dismay, but we have sorted these problems,” Mr. Jayasuriya said.

Mr. Jayasuriya told a news conference he was unhappy to see the crime rate increasing. He said the main reason for this was the removal of the 17th Amendment and the introduction of the 18th Amendment.

”State institutions have been politicised. The government has promoted henchmen. UPFA politicians are responsible for the increase in the crime rate. Some of them are even having parties for raping hundred women. These are things we have never heard before,” he said. (Nabeela Hussain & Nishan Casseem)
