Wigneswaran’s actions indirectly benefit govt - Wimal
Mobitel Inner

UPFA MP Wimal Weerawansa today accused the Chief Minister of the Northern Province C.V. Wigneswaran of engaging in a “racist political movement” and failing to accomplish anything for the Tamil people in the North. 

 

Wigneswaran has not been able to do a single thing for the people in the North after he became the Chief Minister and he has not received whatever was promised by the international community, the former minister told reporters in Colombo.

 

What has happened to Wigneswaran is the same thing that happened to Ranil Wickremesinghe after coming to power, he alleged, adding that in order to save himself from that crisis the Chief Minister is pushing the people in the North towards “extreme racism”. 

 

That is the political core of Wigneswaran’s current operations, he said. “That indirectly benefits the government.”

 

Weerawansa claimed that the government using Wigneswaran as an example to show Opposition Leader R. Sampanthan and his demand as moderate.
