I accepted the invitation  as I saw nothing wrong with visiting the UN with the government  delegation but now I am reconsidering the move and may not attend the UN  sessions," MP Amaratunga said.   The UNP MP says he will be visiting the US on a family matter but will  not join the Sri Lankan delegation visiting the UN for the sessions  scheduled to take place next week.    President Rajapaksa has already left for the US to attend the UN  sessions next week while his delegation will leave over the next two  days.     <a href="http://www.dailymirror.lk/index.php/news/6626-john-reconsiders.html" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.dailymirror.lk/index.php/news/6626-john-reconsiders.html" target="_blank">Dailymirror</a></blockquote>
