General Secretary of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) Sagara Kariyawasam says the SLPP will join hands with the UNP if it can be for the betterment of the country. He said joining the UNP will also further strengthen the SLPP.

He made these comments at a press conference held yesterday. According to Kariyawasam a connection has been built between the two parties and therefore they will explore how to work together without having to sacrifice their own policies. “We will discuss this and join hands if we can serve this country,” he said.
