Speaking to BBC, Fernando said that some politicians have started to blame all alleged wrongdoings of the government to the UNP, while taking the credit for all good things done by the government.

Referring to a recent comment by Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva, Fernando said that people like de Silva received ministerial portfolios due to the formation of a national government. Fernando asked as to how de Silva could remain in a government he was steadfastly criticizing.

De Silva had recently said that there was no 'good governance' in government and certain politicians were deceiving people in the name of good governance.

Meanwhile, Fernando added that there could be a systematic attempt to discredit the government using the Avant Garde controversy.

Despite everything, he still has faith in President Maithripala Sirisena, Fernando said.
