Over the phone while he was reading the Sunday Leader newspaper last Sunday since he was unhappy about the lead story of the newspaper and the way his clarification on the issue was published in the newspaper.
Sunday Leader published a statement of Wickramasinghe who said that he would be the executive Prime Minister of the next government. Fonseka has asked from Wickramasinge to avoid publishing stories like this since the JVP leaders have questioned from him about this scenario. Wickramasinghe has said in response that he has told so since he thought the Tamil and English reading public will vote to Fonseka only if he assures he will be the Prime Minister.
“Do you think the Colombo Tamils and the middle class will vote you? They are afraid of a military officer. They will be out of fear only if I tell that I will win. You make JVP to paste posters. Now they have no big vote base. I deliver this message only to the voters that read Tamil and English.”
Then Fonseka has expressed his displeasure regarding the way his explanation on the lead story of December 13 in which he mentioned about Gotabhaya Rajapakse was published.
“They have only published my explanation. Why haven’t they posted an editor’s comment and admitted it?” Fonseka has asked.
Wickramasinghe has replied to ask the matter from the editor of the newspaper. Then Fonseka has retorted telling that he told it to Wickramasinghe since he was the actual owner of the newspaper.
Sarath Fonseka has blamed the Opposition Leaders angrily before he disconnected the telephone abruptly.
