SLFP National Organiser Susil Prmajantha said they were against the national government or unity government concept and expressed confidence in a UPFA victory at the general elections.

The party also condemned the NPC resolution calling for an international probe into alleged war crimes and 'genocide' during the last stages of the armed conflict.

Mr. Premajayantha said the use of the word genocide was not acceptable.

"This is a time of reconciliation. We have rehabilitated 11,000 cadres. If there was genocide, this wouldn't have happened,” he said.

Mr. Premajayantha said candidates will be screened by the nominations board before selecting them to contest the general election.

He said they would consider the wishes of people when selecting the candidates.(Video & text by Lahiru Pothmulla)

The plan of the National government is to rule forever by the UNP to collar the largest party the SLFP.As a memebe of the SLFP proposed by Madam Bandaranaike and seconded by Ratnsiri Wickramamnaika, I wholly protest this national Government trick.SLFP can always win single handed without the UNPMaitripala Sirisena power hungry, joined forces with the defeatred UNP ans the opposition to become The President of Sri Lanka and made the whole cabinet majority with UNP people and some non members of parliment.If the SLFP goes alone the next Parlimentary election can be theirs.Sirisena came to power on many allegations of corruption and family bandism ( nepotism) Well, corruotion during the post 1977 UNP was greater

Sirisena is now compelled reluctantly to go for a national govt as he could not achieve the expected crossovers from the SLFP before or after the election. He is now leading a minority UNP govt: as the SLFP leader, though he contested from a a different party against the incumbent president of the country who was also the president of the SLFP. He must now realize that it is the expectations of the SLFPers to form their own govt after the next General election. He must put his effort behind the party. He is morally and politically obliged to do so. He cannot go for a national govt just to satisfy the UNP his temporary allies. Remember over 5 mln SLFP votes are with MR which were against MS and UNP.

Forget about Party politics and start working for people. Enough UPFA looted our country.All should help a united UNP/ JVP/ JHU coalition to come into power.

this clearly shows that the politician of this country are not for the people it is for their party well being.what i think is that as people are the most powerful force we as public of this country should propose system of political reforms to the parliament which should be accepted.and after that the general election can continue.

Just because the Germans at present kiss the feet of the Jews, it does not mean they did not do a genocide during WW2.
