SDL executives claim that they received a call this morning from the military warning them not to have a meeting and discussions, just before a traditional welcome ceremony was to be accorded to the Ousted Prime Minister, Laisenia Qarase at the SDL Headquarters at MacGregor Road.
This was confirmed by SDL National Director Peceli Kinivuwai and later by ousted PM Laisenia Qarase.
However, Lt Colonel Mosese Tikoitoga denies the claims saying that the military did not issue any such warning to any SDL member or party.
The Qaranivalu and SDL Patron, Ratu Inoke Takiveikata, the Roko Tui Dreketi, Ro Teimumu Kepa, Party President Ratu Kalokalo Loki, and other ousted SDL Ministers, Ted Young, Sam Speight Junior, Ilaitaia Tuisese, Doctor Tupeni Baba, Jonetani Galuinadi, Ratu Jone Kubuabola, Mere Samisoni, and friends presented a traditional welcome ceremony to Laisenia Qarase.
Qarase had also expressed gratitude at the support shown to him and his wife and thanked everyone for their prayers.
