Former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka said his newly registered Democratic Party would contest future elections only under the ‘burning torch symbol’.
He told a news conference that anyone who was willing to work with his party should be prepared to campaign under the party symbol because his party would not contest any election under any other symbol.
He said several prominent government members, who are frustrated with the present UPFA leadership are having discussions with him about joining his party.
Mr. Fonseka said he will instill discipline in his party in the same way he instilled discipline in the army which successfully defeated LTTE terrorism. (YP & DS)
