Government's politicos obstruct the motorcade of leaderof the Opposition

Tissa Attanayake, UNP Gen. Secretary, condemned the action of Government. politicos, led by Deputy Aviation Minister, Gunaratne trying to obstruct the motorcade of Ranil Wickremesinghe when he was returning to Colombo after his overseas tour.
These unruly and underworld elements also staged a Demonstration outside the Bandaranayake International Airport shouting anti Wickremesinghe slogans and carrying banners, alleging that the Leader of Opposition was seeking to undermine the GSP+ benefits, which is on the verge of being withdrawn, actually due to Govt.’s failure to adhere to the stipulations of the 27 Int. treaties to which the Government is also a signatory.

It is indeed a sad misconception by the Government as; it is all Apparel exporters who will be hit by this GSP+ withdrawal, who insisted upon the Opposition Leader to help them out by discussing with the European countries on their behalf in this regard. Ranil made this tour too for this purpose.
