COLOMBO, NOVEMBER 23: Opposition leader Ranil Wickremesinghe has kicked up a storm in the Sri Lankan presidential campaign, sniping at President Chandrika Kumarantunga that he would hand her over to LTTE chief Prabhakaran if elected.

A front page report in the state-owned The Daily News quoted Wickremesinghe, the United National Party (UNP) leader and presidential candidate, telling an election rally: “I shall not hand over the country to Prabhakaran. However, I shall, if necessary, hand over Chandrika to LTTE leader Prabhakaran. She can go and reside in Wanni.”
