13 Plus no longer valid- Susil
General Secretary of the United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) Susil Premajayanth told Ceylon Today that they will not accept 13+ as a solution to the ethnic issue through the UPFA Election Manifesto because 13+ was no longer a valid option.
He said the Alliance will only accept as solutions for the ethnic issue the proposals included in the 13th Amendment.
"What is the ethnic issue? It is R. Sampanthan of the Tamil National Alliance who is talking about ethnic issue. What he wants is North-East integration and to establish autonomy which we will never allow. We are not prepared to give anything beyond 13."
