The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) said yesterday people should not accept the person who secures a majority in Parliament because it means that peoples’ representatives were bought over for money to secure the majority.

JVP Leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake told a rally in Nugegoda that if the person who secures a majority in Parliament was accepted as the Prime Minister, it means accepting black money. “It is black money which decides the position of peoples’ representatives in Parliament. These transactions are not done through banks. These transactions are concluded using black the money of smugglers,” he said.

He said Parliament could not be considered as supreme any longer as peoples’ representatives were being bought and added that the President prorogued parliament thereby plunging the country into political chaos.

“Dinesh Gunawardane, who usually requests that parliament convenes even for a minor flood, is silent over this grave crisis,” he said.

Mr. Dissanayake further suggested that people should not accept President Maithripala Sirisena as the President because he betrayed the mandate given to him by the people in 2015. “The President has betrayed the mandate of 6.2 million people who voted for him instead of Mahinda Rajapaksa. The President no longer has the support of 6.2 million persons who voted for him or the 5.8 million who voted against him,” he said. (Ajith Siriwardana)

That's the whole idea of blocking parliament. Question is what can be done to avoid such scenarios at least in the future!

Can see the green bell shaping up nicely now.

Anura - wish you can be the President and kick the assess of all these corrupted, self centred, money grabbing, useless politicians of our country. See how bold MR, SB, Dinesh, Weerawansa etc etc are now searching for power. Life is so good for them now, they want to have a raid on us again. The only politician who talks and thinks like you is Sajith. Hope for the future of our young generation you and Sajith extend some ideas and if he succeeds, help him get rid of our gutter politics once and for all.

You JVP murderers and rogues have been rejected by majority of the people in our country. You are the notorious dollar vultures who destroy young generation.

To over come this situation is to bring a motion to lose their parliamentry seat, when they cross over to the another party.

So, Ranil is not recognized as PM by JVP ?

Harini Friday, 02 November 2018 05:31 PM

Great. So what do you propose? We do away with the PM post altogether? Yes they are all bought - some with Bond Scam money and others with Dubai money. You guys are the cleanest lot but people don't seem to trust you.

This is not the time to give us lectures Mr Dissanayake tell us how you can help save the country from these horrible monsters selling themselves like male prostitutes to the highest overseas bidder. Help to avoid the crisis and then you start delivering your lectures again.Your party will never win government.But it can help by joining the more reasonable parties to avoid this impending disaster.What is the use of playing your violin like Nero while Rome is burning?You will not be left with an audience for your lectures if you do not act wisely and soon.

Once JVP was respected movement that voiced to safeguard SRI LANKA, now it has been bought by evangelist force!
