Govt. in crisis over PM?s statement
Wednesday, June 13,2007
COLOMBO: The Government was in the throes of another crisis Tuesday over the public apology made by Prime Minister Ratnasiri Wickremanayake on the eviction of Tamils from the city with several Ministers publicly criticising the Premier?s statement and distancing the government from it. Chief Government Whip and Minister Jeyaraj Fernandopulle on Monday criticised Prime Minister Ratnasiri Wickremanayake for accepting responsibility on behalf of the government and apologising for the eviction of Tamil citizens from Colombo.
Fernandopulle on Monday said that the Premier?s statement was a betrayal of the members of the armed forces.
Addressing a public event organised to inaugurate an electricity generation scheme in Welivita Divithura Kuppiyawatte, Fernandopulle had further said that he would hold a media briefing today to explain details of the statement made by the Prime Minister.
Political sources said Ministers Karu Jayasuriya and Rajitha Senaratne too are expected to attend the press conference.
It is learned the decision to hold a press conference and disassociate the government from the Prime Minister?s statement follows strong representations made by Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa.
The move to criticise the Prime Minister is also viewed as a move to force his resignation.
Sources said there is a group within the government who are keen to promote Jayasuriya as Premier and has urged him to attend the press conference.
Sources also said efforts were underway to persuade Fernandopulle not to hold the press conference today and deepen the crisis but there was little likelihood of those efforts succeeding.
Sources also said it was siginificant none of the Defence ministry websites reported the Prime Minister?s statement.
The Prime Minister expressed regrets over the forcible eviction of Tamils from the city following documentary evidence surfacing that Defence Secretary, Gotabhaya Rajapaksa had issued the directives at a meeting on May 31.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa had 48 hours earlier in a statement said disciplinary action will be taken against any officials responsible for the eviction.
