It is reported that UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe has received a stern warning from several of his close political allies that the forthcoming national government could be a dangerous political gamble.
They pointed out to Wickremasinghe that consequences could be catastrophic if this goes on without very specific information about the support from the international community – without a full agreement on the role of a national government and the division of responsibilities and a clear mechanism for implementing that agreement.
Sources said that close associates had told Ranil Wickremasinghe that this too was likely to be the hazard in the wake of such attempts in the country so far, and warned that the political fate of those involved could be catastrophic if such a move was made.
According to sources, Ranil Wickremesinghe is currently vying for the post of Prime Minister.
However, as we have previously reported, the economic crisis will begin to affect the lives of the people in an unprecedented manner next week and there is no single solution that any party in the country can come up with. The people of the country will be able to avoid extreme hardships and bankruptcy of the country only if all the political parties come together with a common consensus and set aside their short-term power objectives.
Otherwise, many who are currently boasting about trying to save the country will not be left with a country to save in the end. That is the bitter truth!
