The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna leadership is using former Army Chief Sarath Fonseka as bait to get what they want, National Freedom Front leader Wimal Weerawansa told a press conference at the Mahaweli Centre.
He pointed out that General Fonseka cannot enter Parliament because of the ongoing cases, even if he won the elections by chance, if he was found guilty ans punished. "The JVP is trying to capitalise on this situation," Weerawansa said.
Though the possibility of General Fonseka winning the elections was remote, Weerawansa said like animals exhibited to attract visitors on road sides, the JVP was doing a similar thing with General Fonseka to clinch votes.
"Sarath Fonseka seems to understand nothing and Anoma is much worse," he said on Monday.
Weerawansa said he was stunned to witness the JVP leadership’s concern towards General Fonseka and his wife. "The same leadership was critical when I spoke on the national channel when General Fonseka was attacked by a suicide bomber. I was asked ‘why did you make an over statement on him’," he said.
