The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) said today it would accept the maintenance allowance to MPs though on principle it was opposed to the granting of such an allowance.

JVP MP and Propaganda Secretary Vijitha Herath told a media briefing that his party was opposed to the proposed Rs.100,000 office maintenance allowance to parliamentarians but its MPs would accept it so that others would not get the chance to grab these funds.

“If our MPs refrain from accepting this allowance, others will rob it,” he said and added that they were opposed to it because MPs receive enough facilities.

The government will spend Rs.134 million to pay office maintenance allowance to the MPs.(Yohan Perera)

    “If our MPs refrain from accepting this allowance, others will rob it,” Boy these JVPers are good sophists.

    JVP beggars.

    “If our MPs refrain from accepting this allowance, others will rob it”. Therefore, we will rob it. Nice logic.

    AjithZ Wednesday, 13 September 2017 09:27 AM

    If you don't have something logical to say, please keep quiet and accept it without being the laughing stock. Real jokers.

    Lion Viswanathan Wednesday, 13 September 2017 09:52 AM

    What is the logic and what principal you fellows follow? Opposing but accepting....

    Jal Perera Wednesday, 13 September 2017 09:53 AM

    This is the reason why JVP cannot win any elections.... understand.

    Appa Mudalalee Mahinda Wednesday, 13 September 2017 09:59 AM

    If you guys not accepting the allowance, we could respect your policies, but you all too are like greedy Mahinda.

    Sugath Wednesday, 13 September 2017 10:20 AM

    These JVP guy's are a laughing stock. Their right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.

    kumar Wednesday, 13 September 2017 12:30 PM

    what a joker,and a hypocrite.These JVP's are the same as the rest of the spongers in the Parliament.

    Heman Wednesday, 13 September 2017 12:40 PM

    It is so pathetic to see the people judge JVPers with same level with other cheap politicians in this country, JVP is the only party who can take this country to the right path

    Kumara Dharmarathne Wednesday, 13 September 2017 01:01 PM

    What is this,"Oppose and Accept". Are you out of your mind? Don't fool the public in broad day light.

    Banda Wednesday, 13 September 2017 01:48 PM

    We voted 'yahapalanaya" to power but we talk against them in parliament - JVP
