Conspiracy being hatched in Colombo to oust me: C.V

- BY ROMESH MADUSHANKA

Northern Province Chief Minister C.v.wigneshwar­an said that there is a conspiracy being hatched in Colombo to remove him from office.

He had made this startling revelation when a group of supporters walked into his official residence and expressed their solidarity with the CM with regard to the no-faith motion brought against him.

He said, “It is in Colombo that this conspiracy has been hatched. I do not like to reveal the persons behind it now. However, I will tell you how it happened.”

“The Northern Provincial Council ministers knew that an investigat­ion was going to be conducted into some of their activities. I have to decide whether to take action against them or not after examining the facts mentioned in the report. Whatever action I take those conspiring against me will get their way.

I take those conspiring against me will get their way. If I decide that no wrong has taken place, they plan to say that I am shielding the culprits, if I punish those responsibl­e for the wrongdoing­s, then they will still try to kick me out saying that I am wrong to do so

If I decide that no wrong has taken place, they plan to say that I am shielding the culprits, if I punish those responsibl­e for the wrong-doings, then they will still try to kick me out saying that I am wrong to do so. Either way I am doomed if they have their way. It is our own people who said that an investigat­ion should be conducted. That is the reason why we appointed a committee to investigat­e these allegation­s,” he said.
