Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said today the party would support a no-faith motion against Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe on the basis that he had not carried out his duties properly and with allegations of fraud and corruption and on allegations of protecting thieves.

However, he also said protecting Mr. Wickremesinghe’s Premiership or helping to continue it was not a matter of the JVP.

He told a news conference that they would consider the political motives of bringing in the no-faith-motion and whether it was brought in as a result of a power struggle or as a political game.

“We will support a no-confidence-motion brought in for certain facts such as Mr Wickremesinghe involved in fraud and corruption and protecting fraudsters.

“We will consider whether the motion was brought in against attempting to appoint Central Bank Governor, being part of the Central Bank Bond issuance, attempting to protect fraud and corruption of the Rajapaksa regime, not allowing Shiranthi Rajapaksa being brought to the CID for defrauding money of the Siriliya Account and protecting certain people, who involved in passport frauds,” he said.

All political parties want RW out . But RW doesnt understand this simple logic ? . RW is NO more a sought leader be it the PM or Leader of the UNP . Sooner than later the UNP is going to be a minority political entity with RW s leadership ! .

Your points relates the facts of the down fall of UNP, one fine day - UNP will be in the bottom, RW's existence is the reason. Why this man is soaked with power hunger?

Only remedy to remove Ranil is, the entire nation must get in to the streets.

Very true... RW is now under the sarong of MR.

Ambalangoda Somatissa Thero Thursday, 01 March 2018 11:17 AM

Unless RW dies, he will be the PM of SriLanka, no way to remove him.

R.M. K. Appuhamy Thursday, 01 March 2018 10:59 AM

It is not easy to remove RW from his seat as he is using the same gum which MR using to stick to his chair.

Good move. Mr. Dissa, you lie about yours and party status, but you guys are enjoying the Luxury benefits from the Government. Even I have seen you always travelling in the Business class using the most expensive IPhone... correct?

Julian Ratnam Thursday, 01 March 2018 01:59 PM

Yes its true, these JVP fellows are the liars and destroyed our country like Mahinda and his thieves.

sach Thursday, 01 March 2018 11:21 AM

This is not supporting. Read his conditions. Anura is protecting RW

Stunned Citizen Thursday, 01 March 2018 02:56 PM

The JVP cannot win a local government election with all their so called clean politics. They oppose Everything a government does.

Hiran Shanaka Thursday, 01 March 2018 03:46 PM

Only a very few in this present parliament can support a no-confidence motion targeting corruption to Ranil or anybody. Everyone is corrupt to the core! Therefore, if JVP wants support for such type of no-confidence motion, then they need to gather needed support from Jupiter or Mars
