JVP
looks ahead Prepares to face ‘any challenge’ The party's reorganizing would culminate with a mammoth National Conference to prepare the JVP to face any challenge, a JVP National List MP said at the meeting. JVP Parliamentarian Ramalingam Chandrasekaran was the chief guest while Western Provincial Councillor Mohamed Nafli and Colombo Municipal Councillors Hemantha Weerakoon and Sunil Kumara attended the meeting. MP Chandrasekaran said the JVP was prepared to face any future challenge and triumph. He said the reorganizing of all electorates and districts was a good omen for a great future victory for the party. Western Provincial Councillor Mohamed Nafli said although the JVP, with 39 seats in Parliament, 80 in Provincial Councils and over 300 in local government bodies, was a component of the Freedom Alliance Government, it was however not dependent on the Government for its existance. He said the social arm of the party, the "Sahana Seva Balakaya" (Relief Services Corp.) fulfilled a yeoman service not only in the South but also in the North and East, thus winning the people's confidence. He said the Freedom Alliance was able to present its "Rata Perata" (Country Forward) and a pro-people budget due to the hard work of the JVP and other progressive movements that supported the government. Mr. Nafli said as the people had given a mandate to the UPFA rejecting the division of the country, selling of national resources and the "Regaining Sri Lanka" plan of the UNP, they were prepared to sacrifice even their lives during a national crisis. |
