Unite to defeat terror: JVP
The JVP in its New Year message declared that its hope for 2006 would be that all patriotic citizens in the country would unite in a bid to defeat terrorism.

“If all patriotic forces unite in 2006 to defeat terrorism that would be a victory for the country”, the message from JVP’s Politburo said. “The New Year is being ushered in at a time when the world is facing social, economic and political challenges. As Sri Lankans we too have to meet these challenges. It is important to note that some of them have been created by history and left behind”.

“We should realize that we are welcoming the year 2006 to prepare to complete the incomplete tasks for the wellbeing of humankind. “One of our main tasks would be to meet the challenges posed by terrorists. We have to protect the sovereignty and unitary status of the country and develop the nation. We should meet the direct challenges posed by the terrorists.

Avoiding these challenges would mean that the country is bowing down to terrorism. “Therefore as a nation the New Year should be used to bring unity with the aim of defeating terrorism. We cannot proceed as a nation unless this is achieved. Without meeting the challenges which follow we cannot gain victory and we hope 2006 will be the year we could achieve something new by facing the challenges”, the message said.
