Old habits die hard: JVP

2 August 2015 10:37 am

Friday's shooting at Bloemendhal Road where a United National Front for Good Governance (UNFGG) supporter was killed is ample evidence that some politicians are not prepared to mend their old habits of associating with underworld gangsters though they talk of social ills, the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) said.

General Secretary Tilvin Silva said this was an obvious conclusion one could draw going by the reports that the killing was linked to underworld warfare.

“Some parties talk of democracy and tell the people not to vote for those who are corrupt and those who associate with the underworld while all the time associating with the underworld gangsters,” he said. (Yohan Perera)
