The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) today filed a fundamental rights petition citing that fundamental rights of people have been violated due to the loss incurred by the government through the reduction of tax on imported sugar.
JVP Politburo member Sunil Hadunnetti and former Provincial Councillor attorney-at-law Sunil Watagala filed the FR petition in the Supreme Court.
Attorney General, Finance Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, Secretary to the President P.B. Jayasundara, Treasury Secretary S.R. Attygalle and several others have been named as respondents.(Farook Thajudeen)

Organisations profited from the reduction and people still pay the same price. By reducing tax on sugar imports they are discouraging local sugar. By the way , shouldn't we start reducing our sugar consumption significantly so that we can avoid many heath issues.

Can anyone commenting here remind me of any action taken by JVP against any financial misappropriation committed by previous regime? When the joint opposition was critical about bond scam etc, JVP kept on attacking only JO.

JVP foundout and made public about the 10 billion bond scam during the last government.

For the N th time, we the 'majority' doesn't care much about these 'swindling' or 'scams' ! Just save us our country (or whatever that's left) for us!

Idiotic. The government can change or abolish import duties how it like. The supreme court has to waste time with kindergarten petitions like this one, contempt of court and such kind of nonsense.

They have not named the company in concern. Another political drama.

If the duty, was reduced why was the benefit by way of price reduction that should have taken place not passed on to us the consumers.

This the newest way of capital accumilation. No point of complaining, even the majority don't care about it. This is the last lap of Sri Lanka. Watch it and enjoy.
