Alavi Moulana and Dinesh Gunawardene met Mr.Rajapakse on his return from Maldives Wednesday morning and are reported to have told him to resolve the differences with Anura Bandaranayake, only son of the founder of the SLFP S.W.R.D.Bandaranayake.

Later Wednesday Anura Bandaranayake met Mr.Rajapakse at the latter's invitation, according to Colombo media sources.

Anura Bandaranaike later said the differences between him and Mahinda Rajapakse have been resolved in the interest of the island, private electronic media said in its Wednesday night news broadcast quoting Anura Bandaranaike.

Meanwhile, speculation is rife in political circles that Anura Bandaranaike is to be re-appointed as a cabinet rank minister Thursday or Friday. He is likely to be given an important portfolio in addition to Ministry of National Heritage, private electronic media reported.
