JVP Dissdents to sever links with the party

JVP dissidents who boycotted the party’s special convention today said that they would sever political links with the party hereafter. The party had its special convention today to appoint a new set of office bearers expelling the dissidents who have now formed a new organisation called “Movement for People’s Struggle' (MPS).

Addressing a press conference, MPS convener Chameera Koswatte who was in the JVP central committee earlier, said that today’s convention was a fraudulent attempt to capture the power of the party through maneuvering and manipulations. (Kelum Bandara)
