The Peoples Liberation Front (JVP) Leader Somawansa Amerasinghe yesterday said his party would be meeting with Mangala Samaraweera and Sripathi Suriarachchi of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (Mahajana Wing) at Battaramulla party head office, on Wednesday(5) `to know their minds.`
` We are meeting them with an open mind. We have already mentioned about our own reservations on their deal with the UNP. We don`t think that the country could gain anything positive by going along with the UNP.`
He was very emphatic that there would not be any support from the JVP for the UNP.
Political analysts said that this was a clear attempt by the JVP to remain neutral as realignment of forces against the Government were taking shape.
The JVP sources said that at last Tuesday`s Politburo meeting of the party, General Secretary Tilvin Silva had informed that the party had received a letter from Mangala Samaraweera stating that he would like to discuss the SLFP(M) plans for a broader Front against the Government.
While JVP Leader Somawansa Amerasinghe declared that there would be no help from the party for any alliance with the UNP, it was agreed that the party should ask the SLFP(M) to join the JVP to form a grander alliance against the Government.
Amerasinghe said the party should brief Samaraweera on the informal consultations that were underway with some ruling party parlimentarians, trade unionists, including those in the plantation sector, journalists and like minded organizations.
While we have our reservations, we should meet them as they had indicated that they wished to speak to us.
`So we will see what we could do and what we should do.At present the poor people in the country are suffering as a result of a political, economic and a cultural crisis and we believe that the only way out for people is to formulate a new and alternative program to steer the country out of the destructive path taken during the past 30 years,` he said.
It was only last Thursday that the SLFP(M Wing) met UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe at the office of the opposition leader at Cambridge Terrace , and it was agreed that both the UNP and the SLFP(M Wing) will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlining the outer parameters of their common objectives.

This statement cirtainly does not help the UNP(TRAITOR RANIL/ANUS-AM) faction at a time when they want to show collective strength against Mahinda......
Also the JVP is Politically Smart not to make Personal Attacks on the Rajapaksa Family....The JVP is well on their way to snatch the Opposition Leadership from TRAITOR RANIL at the next General Elections.....Soundly defeating the UNP (TRAITOR RANIL/ANUS-AM) faction.......
It would be to Mahinda's great benefit if the JVP too launched Personal Attacks on the Rajapaksa Family....But they don't seem to be so foolish....

Somawansa and few guys are moderates there,But still Marxist
hardliners like Tilvin also Sinhala Nationalists like Wimal make issues difficult for JVP.
Nandana Gunethileke issue uncovers bitter truth of this.
One day MR will absorb few liberals to SLFP.
RW do not have the vision to make use of any chances or strategies to uplift UNP.

| Who but political outcasts wants to have an alliance with those monkeys. UNP has and always win on its own. Alliance or not, UNP is the only party which can win elections on its own. It is the 'prostitute SLFP' which sleeps with every party including TNA. |

I used to wonder at times when they JVP pointed a finger
at the LTTE saying they were killing poor innocent Tamils.
How on earth could these fellows say this!They killed
sinhalese too!Like the tiger can't change its' stripes, the JVP too can't change their image ever! |

JVPs real face will be seen at a time, when the joint opposition in Parliament submits a 'No Confidence Motion' on the Government for the impossible cost of living the real people living in Sri Lanka has to under go now!
It could be in or around Oct/Nov 2007!
JVP will have to take a stand, whether they are on the side of the people or backing MR & Co Ltd. |

JVP may have done many things that have been mentioned,but the government in power and other opportunists too took advantage of the dark days of 88/89 and I was a victim of those who ran the country where my land was forcibly annexed by a high ranking police officer and in spite of years in a court case,I haven't got back my land.
JVP have come a long way since then,absorbed the democratic path,supporting for an undivided country and it's people.They too are exposing corruption and nepotism,which is the root cause of that country's problem.Frustrated and misguided minorities are seeking a state of their own,believing that it would solve their problems,which I doubt after seeing same type of shortcomming in their kin in TN. |
