UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe has said the present crisis is not a matter of personalities, not a matter of political parties but a question on the rule of law.

“It is whether we wish to live as a society governed by the rule of law or a society governed by the whims of individuals. This is not an issue which affects the present but one which will affect future generations as well." he has said in his message.

He expressed similar views to University Dons, several public servants and civil society representatives who met him at Temple Trees this morning. They are reported to have told Mr. Wickremesinghe that they would support all moves to safeguard the Constitution and the rule of law. (Yohan Perera)

If the constitution should be safeguarded, Ranil should be kicked out of self-proclaimed Prime Minister forcibly staying in the Temple Trees..

MR is not interested in keeping PM appointment. He is only there temporarily to destroy all files and any evidence of the past to protect his family. MR has exposed MS to the world.Impeachment of MS after MR departure in November 2018.(Source: delegate from BJP India Swamy meeting with MR).

IF it is a matter of 'Rule of Law', why then won't you go to the High Court with your appeal? Entry into privileged Political Government positions via the proverbial 'back door' will never last long. This person has had enough of such experience to know that. He STILL does not get it! VERY sad. MM

If Ranil survives this episode this is the last survival chancefor RW and the UNP . RW must RESIGN and hand the leadership to Sajith . Otherwise NOBODY will vote for the UNP.
