Thonda's resignation 'unthinkable' says CWC colleague A UNP demand that Mr. S. Thondaman resigns his ministry following the defeat of his votes on Friday was rejected outright by CWC MP P. P. Devaraj as "unthinkable". Mr. Tyronne Fernando the UNP's parliamentary group whip said yesterday that Thondaman should resign. That is the convention, he said.

No, General Anurudhdha Ratwatte and Industrial Minister C. V. Goonaratne are not pointing accusing fingers at each other. They are merely showing a great deal of intrest in what's being done at Ranaviru Appareles, a garment factory run by disabled soldiers. (pic by Eranga Jayawardena)
