Former Deputy Minister Arundika Fernando stated that he will extend his fullest support to all the political parties who aim to topple the current government by working with the Joint Opposition.

Arundika Fernando stated that he had no ambition to gain favour of the President when he joined the government. He also expressed his sadness as a devout Catholic over the slanderous comments levied against the Buddhist clergy.
