Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) member of the Western Provincial Council K. D. Lal Kantha has resigned from his post in order to engage in trade union work full time, party sources said.

Party sources said Mr. Lal Kantha will engage in trade union work full time. He was the president of the National Trade Union Federation for a long time.

Sources scoffed rumours that he has resigned owning to a dispute. “There had been no dispute at all,” the party sources said.

Mr. Lal Katnha contested the general election from the Colombo District but failed to get elected.

The party obtained only one seat in the Colombo district at this year’s election. (Yohan Perera)

Lal Kantha, Politics and Trade Unionism go hand in hand. Hope you will not leave JVP as your previous leader? You are an asset and not a liability. If you go, tell us why?
