Former minister Mervyn Silva yesterday launched a new political party named ‘Deshiya Janatha Pakshaya’ at his residence in Colombo.

Following the launch, the former minister told a news conference that he had launched this political party in order to safeguard all religions and nationalities.

While commenting on the new Constitution, he said that no one had requested for it and urged the government that it was mandatory to develop the country than forming a new Constitution.

“This government is talking a lot about the reconciliation. Reconciliation is existent in the country since the past. This government has established such a topic to obtain benefits from the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs),” he added.

He said that since from the early times people from many religions and nationalities had lived together peacefully in Sri Lanka and added that no such party would have to be provided with unnecessary rights.

If MR could have his own party, why not Mervyn? If the latter was given a General like SF, he too would have defeated the LTTE.

Very patriotic, Mr Silva - suggest you rename your party as PPP - pissu poosa pakshaya. Sounds good, isn't it.

The four reptiles/animals he says he does not want are more akin to him. So why leave them out?

Deshiya Damarika Madavi Pakshaya. This man should be languishing in a jail by now for what he had done.

In every era there were court jesters or Andares. Just for kicks and not to be taken seriously.

People should not give legitimacy to this party by writing comments. Just ignore this man because it is not worth wasting time on a looser like this.
