Rajapaksa says new political front inevitable

The former president, Mahinda Rajapaksa warned on Monday that a new political front was inevitable if party members were expelled from within the organisation.

Speaking after the opening of a new office of the Sri Lankan Freedom Party (SLFP) in Urubokka, Matara district, Mr Rajapaksa said members who had been expelled would come together to form a strong opposition.

"If people are thrown out of their parties, they will have no alternative but to form a new political party. Everyone has the responsibility to form a strong opposition" he was quoted by the BBC as saying.
