JHU in bid to bring back Mangala, Sripathy
Wednesday, 14 February 2007 - 4:28 AM SL Time

The JVP yesterday said it would not be a party to any alliance which included the Tamil National Alliance as the TNA had recognized the LTTE as the sole representative of the Tamil speaking people.

The JVP dismissed reports and speculation that it would join an alliance which would include the TNA and the UNP.

Speculation was rising that the JVP, UNP and the TNA were going to form an alliance to take over the opposition in the Parliament. Former Agriculture Minister and JVP Politburo member, Parliamentarian Anura Kumara Dissanayake had met the former Minister Mangala Samaraweera on Monday night and discussed the forming of an alliance.

The JVP denied that Dissanayake and Samaraweera had discussed an alliance. Dissanayake had admitted to meeting Samaraweera after his return on Sunday night. He said they had discussed the present political situation, party sources said.

JVP Parliamentary group leader Wimal Weerawansa however said that they would lead the opposition in the Parliament if the number of UNP Parliamentarians go drop below 38. `There would no alliance. We are no in a hurry to take over the Opposition as we have already had to lead the Opposition while other Opposition parties have remained silent on key issues. However, there are some debatable issues where the JVP will officially lead the opposition,` Weerawansa told The Island.

Meanwhile, the Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU), which joined the Rajapakse Government, is making a bid to have Mangala Samaraweera and Sripathy Sooriyarachchi taken back into the government fold, leaving out Anura Bandaranaike. The JHU said the problem could be solved through discussions disregarding personal political agendas.

General Secretary of the (JHU) Dr. Omalpe Sobitha Thera said the current political dilemma is an internal problem of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party and both groups would do well to immediately solve their problem because it would effect the current efforts to eradicate terrorism.

`Former Ministers Mangala Samaraweera and Sripathy Sooriyarachchi played massive roles in President Rajapakse`s victory in 2005. They also did a lot to strengthen the Mahinda Chinthanaya policy. Bandaranaike did not work for Rajapakse`s victory but was with the retrograde forces which tried to defeat Rajapakse,` he said.

JHU in bid to bring back Mangala, Sripathy

J athika H ell You rumaya,is a party with no policy or any future plan, towards the nation..

This brown monkeys, totally, a waste garbage for the whole country,though their duty is to follow the Buddhas teaching,and stay in the spiritual side of the life..

They have no rights, what so ever to mixed in politics, according to their religion..

But, what is the $hit,they are doing?
Fasting in front of the Maligawa, Fort railway station and Victoria park..
Working as middle man and spoiling the whole nation...
Now,they are trying work as a broker for Mahinda and Mangala...
This brown coated 'Terrorist Bikkus' must be eradicated from politics..
Then only the people can live peacefully...

JVP,UNP,TNA should form a united opposition front to pressurize the government to follow the correct path for good governance and some must not cloud this issue with the ongoing conflict as the conflict will evaporate with prosperity and justice in the country.I doubt the JVP is matured enough to tackle all issues as they are still on a learning curve,perhaps they could give two or three of their seats to TULF,perhaps one of them be MR Anandasangeree as we need his political mature counsel and perhaps his valuable advice .End result will be a peaceful,just and prosperous island.

Justman:

You continue to surprise me with your views. Im not saying that in a bad way. I just dont understand how a JVP follower can suggest an alliance with the TNA (or even for that matter with the UNP).. I LIKE TO THINK of my self as a very openminded Liberal person with out an ONCE of racism in me but even i cant recomend an alliance between the JVP + the TNA. Simply because the views they hold are soo diverse that i cant see it working. Just look at home much trouble MR is having and the difference among MRs group is not as much a the difference between the TNA and the JVP.

Im just curious - do you mind if i ask you what your back ground is? I mean are you Sinhalese or tamil or Muslim? Also what age range are u? You dont have to respond if you dont want to..:)

Cheers

Iam half Burgher and Sinhala and I go out of the way to find the truth.Last 4 years I have traveled in to the most remotest areas in SL,perhaps to Vanni by accident.I was very close to the conflict at the end of July '06,spent 3 miserable nights at Kanthale, from there drove and rode through,perhaps the ltte areas to Ampare then Katharagama for the Perahara.I met and inquired from people of all backgrounds at their own habitation and they only want to be left alone live their humble lives.I have personally met some of the JVP leaders,through curiosity,several times and I too have met the late TNA MP,a smashing guy with a great personality.I too would like to go to Killinorchi and meet the leaders there,as I met Karuna's people in Bati,had a drink with them too,very friendly.At the end of it, is that aspirations are just the same for all,as some(the Tamils) are in the forefront and the Sinhalese are still sleeping allowing their leaders to cheat them,the Muslims are on their own,trying to serve all with their trading and bussniss,while their religious leaders are trying to capitalize on their new found world trend of fundamentalism,which might segregate themselves from the rest and the Burghers have just took their belongings and ran to other nations,while people like us,just couldn't forget our good old days that we had with my Tamil,Muslim,Sihala,Sindhi friends in SL.We didn't have all the present luxuries of the West,but much more contended and happier with the little we left behind in SL.I still visit my old pals and help their children with emplyement,etc.My heart is there,in east,west,north and south,not fogetting Kandy.My conclusion is through real sincerity and purpose we could make that place a paradise.As far as the JVP is concerned,they are expressing the same aspirations and desires that an average person need and their methods may not be agreeable,but they are learning fast and they are not racists,as some claim to be,as I asked them over and over again and what they want is a united country,so they can't be racists?Let's hope so, but what's going on is joke!

I have recorded what Mr Raviraj said in his numeruos TV debates and the JVP's Nandana Goonetilleke.They never said that we must kill each other and if you speak to them one to one one can see the human aspect of it and I am sure it's true with the others and I have some respect for VP too,as he has sacrificed his own family,his luxuries that our rouges and their rouges are enjoying,by sticking to a remote uncomfortable place in Vanni,for a cause he passionately believe and live by.We may not agree with him but he has his freedom to his views,without resorting to terrorism and he must put his views to the country and to it's people,but not live there by terror within his terrorist enclave,but by way of a fair and free referendum of some sort.
