All these persons are behind the campaign to demand Mahinda Rajapaksa named as the prime ministerial candidate.

The ministers in charge of the police and justice have not taken action against these politicians, and there was no progress in investigations, which were aimed at supporting the UNP plan to aid Mahinda loyalists to divide the SLFP, the minister charged.

He added the president has decided not to give nominations from the SLFP to anyone accused of bribery, corruption or having violated party discipline.
