JVP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake made an open challenge calling to jail him if he had defrauded a single cent of the people as alleged by some.

Speaking at a rally in Gampaha on Sunday, he said certain people claimed that the JVP maintained offshore accounts and just afterward, government MP Tissa Kuttiarachchi said Anura Kumara should be jailed at least for a day.

"I or anyone of our party have never defrauded a single cent of the people. If we have done so, we won't be able to do politics in this manner. We revealed their fraud and corruption with their names when they were in power. If we are involved in any such misdeeds, we would have already been jailed," he said.

The MP said former president Gotabaya Rajapaksa appointed a commission to punish them and said that Gotabaya had to go home even before the hearing of the commission concluded.

Dissanayake said more allegations, verbal attacks and mud-slinging against the JVP can be expected in the future and added that no one could stop the journey of the JVP to change the political path of the country.

"The JVP is set to change the political history of the country. The power transmission has occurred only within the two political camps in the country so far. Now, the two main camps are on the same side and power is going to be transmitted to the alternative force, the NPP. Not only President Ranil Wickremesinghe is going to lose power but the future of all other politicians like Namal Rajapaksa, ministers and their wives are at stake," he said.(Ajith Siriwardana)

Slinging mud at opponents, age-old tradition of SL politicians!!

There are three political forces that jitter at the thought of JVP capturing power. They have secret understanding. They have political power as well as money power. They would go to any extend to harm JVP. Be careful with those manipulative forces

If you keep on talking their language you will be labelled as one of them.

Ruwan Tuesday, 22 August 2023 12:12 AM

Even Mahinda threw out a similar challenge!

L Jaya Tuesday, 22 August 2023 02:37 AM

How could he say that he and his cohorts not misused public fund. They sold their vehicle permits after registration to avoid complaints that they sold permits. Permits are not given as a bonus upon elected as an MP. They have double tongues and also very flexible to twist

Ram Tuesday, 22 August 2023 04:05 AM

The spokesperson Tissa Kutti has a few skeletons in his cupboard. Since he is talking about corruption he will not oppose if he is investigated to start the process

Thimothy Tuesday, 22 August 2023 06:09 AM

When the country was doing very well in 2002 under the prmiership of Ranil, it was you crooks toppled the govermnet together with Chandrika. See the damage it had caused us for the past 20 years. So who is responsible for the spate we are faced with now. And again when we are moving forward, you guys use your forces in every unit to create issues. JVP has to take full responsibility of the spate of the country today by paving way for the Rajapakse's to be in rule.

Suranganee Tuesday, 22 August 2023 06:33 AM

Namal says the same.

Milinda Tuesday, 22 August 2023 07:59 AM

You claim that your hands are clean. But people know how you guys continue carŕý on corruption activities through third parties. Your henchmen will do the job on your behalf and hold the assets acquired and eventually you will be the final beneficiary. This is what all the politicians do all over the world including Srilanka and make a claim that your hands are clean. What a shame.

Great Party all that they have earned is gifts. Should check the people who have funded them in millions whether they have paid taxes.

Josepjh Tuesday, 22 August 2023 09:43 AM

Why don't you sue the person who made the claim for defamation. This will initiate a legal process if no other person come forward. Surely you need not worry if you are innocent

Gamini Senarath - Peradeniya University Student Tuesday, 22 August 2023 10:26 AM

Anura why you worried about the good for nothing un-educated (grade 8 failed) Tissa Kutty's stinking mouth talks? He is a lunatic Anura.... You run the race with confidence and the young generation will support you and JVP hereafter.

Linton Dias Rupasinghe - Journalist Tuesday, 22 August 2023 10:31 AM

Tissa Kuttiarachchi has become a Joker these days, pacifying Namal thinking that they will come to power again and Namal will be their President or PM. Believe me, I was told by MR's servant that Kutty always being with MR and washing clothes like Wimal Weerawansa.

Aranayake Duglas Tuesday, 22 August 2023 10:36 AM

No one cannot say that JVP Politicians are robbers, only SLPP, SLFP and UNP had lot of rogues even now you could see Health Minister Rambukwella. Kuttiarachchi is a mushroom born for yesterday's rain and he is off the head and begging Ranil to build his house which was damaged during the Aragalaya. Maybe he is asking for the same action again, this time he has to save his life.

Vickram Tuesday, 22 August 2023 10:39 AM

We believe you Brother and we Tamil youths - will only vote for JVP hereafter because you guys are professionally educated and maintain honesty.

Bannis Mama Tuesday, 22 August 2023 10:45 AM

We trust you Anura brother.... we will somehow make JVP to come to power and lead our nation next. Good luck.

Dee Tuesday, 22 August 2023 11:19 AM

Please don’t take away our NIC’s !

Karalasingam Sivalingam Tuesday, 22 August 2023 11:42 AM

Anura Kumara Dissanayake is an honest person, only an uncorrupt person could critise another. Do not tarnish someone's image to gain political advantage.

AKD knows very well, nothing will happen, despite many "independent " inquiries

Umma A Tuesday, 22 August 2023 03:16 PM

Both JVP and Mahinda's grass root societies are one and same and both together failed. JVP alone never sets off to any of desired goals of the country. Their carders and former presidential candidate joined UNP or Rajapaksha club. JVP political and personal revengefullnes displayed during the 87-89 'revoulution'. All party revenge is the trademark of all parties with all religious values.

Mohammed intiquab Ghouse Tuesday, 22 August 2023 03:44 PM

Hope and if JVP comes to power see that no robbers are left free.
