COLOMBO (News 1st): UPFA General Secretary Mahinda Amaraweera told the media today (December 26) that it is everyone's responsibility to unite the UPFA. "I believe that this will become a reality in the future," said Amaraweera. He said that there is no point in talking about national problems or the international community, because "these forces will rise against us if we act divided". "If the UPFA is to be strengthened, we must all act together and unite the party, and this is why, on behalf of everyone's' protection, we have presented all the required documents unconditionally," he added. These views were expressed during the 15th commemoration of the former Mayor of Kotte, Attorney Chandra de Silva, which was held today with the participation of several SLFP frontline activists.
