The name of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party’s (SLFP) youth wing has been changed into ‘Nidahas Tharuna Peramuna’ from its earlier name ‘Nil Balakaya’.

Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa functioned as the President of the youth movement when it was known as Nil Balakaya. Mr. Rajapaksa will not hold a position in the new youth wing.

Kurunegala District MP Shantha Bandara has been appointed as the youth wing’s new President and Kandy District MP Eric Prasanna Weerawardena has been appointed as the Secretary.

“The party central committee, which met a few days ago made the new appointments. Only two office bearers were appointed. The organisation remains the same and only the title was changed into ‘Nidahas Tharuna Peramuna’,” MP Weerawardena said. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

Never rely on this sort of organizations. These are the tricks use by some politicians to make their sons and daughters,leaders. But not to help any one of us. A best example is Namal Rajapaksha. They make you Gona and get the things done on your shoulder. Dear children,if want to do a good service for your nation,please workhard to get the knowledge in this developing world.

PLEASE DO NOT FALL "PREY" TO PEOPLE LIKE "NAMAL". THEY RIDE ON YOUR BACKS AND ENJOY LIFE TO THE FULLEST. OPEN UP YOUR MINDS AND BE PRODUCTIVE INTELLIGENT CITIZENS.

Even if Namal is offered in positions in the new youth wing for sure he will not accept any positions, as he will not benefit from it.It should be investigated how nil balakaya got funds to place TVcommercials and how they utilized the funds.

If you want a good job here you have to know somebody else unless you are a highly qualified professional. The first degree alone will not take you anywhere. It was the same in 1977 when the UNP government came to power.With my first degree still I needed a politician to stay in the intervieving list.Finally exhausted I went to Europe over land. This country became a paradise for crooks,thugs,thives and bandits startung from 1977.
