Speaking to reporters, Wigneswaran said that of the current leaders Wickremesinghe seems the only one who can work with the Tamils.
He also said that the President had briefly spoken to him in Parliament, Wednesday, but refused to divulge the details.
Wigneswaran also criticized the main opposition Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) for walking out of Parliament when the President was speaking.
He said that protesting will not solve the issue at hand.

The SJB walked out of Parliament and boycotted the President’s speech.
