UNP General Secretary Tissa Attanayake has told the media that the government was accusing the opposition and conducting a witch-hunt trying to cover its problems.

Attanayake has made this comment in response to the government’s move to bring a no confidence motion against UNP deputy leader Karu Jayasuriya for his comment on war crimes made to in an interview with a local newspaper.

According to Attanayake, the UNP has never blamed the military for committing any war crimes during the war against the LTTE last year.
