JVP’s latest protest: Private washing of public dirty linen
In recent months, the Government has been blamed for the sale of public ventures to foreign companies, with the latest controversy about plans to bring in a US company to carry out surveying.
The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) keeps protesting over plans to privatise public ventures or to sell them to foreign companies as it believes that such moves cause a loss of foreign exchange.But, their latest protest is not because the country was losing foreign exchange, but because the country was not making use of the best resources.
JVP Trade Union leader Namal Karunaratne is strongly objecting to plans to give the washing of hospital linen to a private company.
“We have the best persons to wash dirty linen. The Government has to look at Parliament. We have three good persons who do the job best.”
Of course, he is referring to a different type of dirty linen washing which the politicians do.
