The Federation of National Organisations (FNO), has warned against the 'separatist' agenda being pushed through the calls for the 13th Amendment.
Gunadasa Amarasekera, whose Patriotic National Movement - an ally of the National Freedom Front - is a member of the FNO, said the 13th Amendment must be "pruned".
"The UNP and the SLFP are using the idea of a national government to push the country to ruin by making way for the Eelam to take over," he said.
"No one can protect the country because the opposition will also agree to whatever decision the UNP reaches."
The FNO is made up of political organisations, businesses and civil society groups based in the south.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
