''We appointed a wrong individual as President, that is why this happened to the UNP” - Minister Sarath Fonseka
Speaking at the May Day rally of the UNP Minister Fonseka said the country and the party both are in a bad situation as a wrong individual was appointed as President.
He went on to say that a member of the party should be nominated at the next Presidential election. He also mentioned that the Rajapaksa's should be sent where due and if not Fonseka and others would be in a dangerous situation in the future.
