Mr. Mangala Samaraweera too at a ceremony held at Matara to commemorate Independence Day said what the country needs is not crossovers but a new programme.The crisis in the SLFP after the taking in of dissidents from the UNP has intensified and there would be more proscriptions, banishments and rejections say internal sources of the SLFP.</blockquote>
