United National Party (UNP) General Secretary Palitha Range Bandara yesterday said booing the country’s Opposition Leader during a public protest cannot be condoned. Range Bandara said that no UNP member led by its Leader, President Ranil Wickremesinghe would approve such an act.
He added that the UNP with a formidable background will never resort to such low acts.
Ranga Bandara in a statement said that he felt sorry when he saw the Opposition Leader leaving amidst the booing during the protest held in Colombo.
The UNP General Secretary said that it should not be forgotten that the Leader of the Opposition is the fourth citizen of the country and said that such a position being undermined is a death blow to the democracy .
It is the responsibility of Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa to secure the dignity of the position for a future leader to hold it with dignity.
