Let us boycott Pepsi, Coca Cola,  Google and McDonalds”, Wimal Weerawansa, the Minister of Housing and  Construction had said this week while addressing an anti-US  demonstration. Weerawansa’s National Freedom Front is a constituent party of the government. Lakshman Yapa Abeywardena said that the government has several  constituent parties in it and everything each person says does not  reflect the opinion of the government. “Anyone can buy any product. Telling someone not to buy or use  something will be a violation of their rights. I will of course use  them,”  Abeywardena said.SL</blockquote>
