SL doesn’t have proper plan to go for IMF loan: Mawbima Janatha Party

Sri Lanka will never receive the emergency loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Mawbima Janatha Party Leader and the Tamil Diaspora General Secretary Nimalan Vishwanathan said.

Addressing the media, he said Sri Lanka doesn't still have any proper mechanism to meet the conditions laid down by the IMF.

"The Sri Lankan government is only thinking of imposing taxes on innocent people to show them that the government has the capability of getting the loan facility from the IMF. "This is an utter waste of time," he said.

We know what the standard  IMF maintains for granting loan facilities. We have studied that. Even one of the secretaries from the IMF confirmed that it is difficult to uplift the country even with the IMF grant, Vishwanathan said.

The IMF officials said that our country should have a mechanism to develop its economy. By imposing huge taxes on innocent people, the country cannot go forward. "People cannot do any business in the country with these huge taxes to help develop the economy," he said.

Therefore, Vishwanathan asked the government as to why there was no proper mechanism to help develop the country's economy. It is sad to say that the country still has no plans to develop its economy.

But we have plans to implement programs through our party with the help of people around the world, including the Sri Lankan community. We are expecting our party to register at the next election. After that, we made a plan for solving the fuel and dollar crises in the country.

"We have given our proposals to the President, but no response has been received from him so far. "To uplift Sri Lanka's economy, there should be a proper structure," he said.

"We can provide sufficient dollars as payment for fuel shipments. We can invest in the country to uplift its economy. "But it is unfortunate that we have not given any task to complete as yet," he added. (Indika Sri Aravinda)

    As far as we know everyone is criticising each other until they get power. Since independence, once they get the power all their strategies are focus on how to fattening their own wallets only.

    It is because we are experts in begging and pocketing money for personal use but not country.

    Sri Lanka only has plan to ROB public money. That is the very reason they come to politics.

    Share your working plan rather than criticizing someone else's. Appreciate what's happening rather than been a blind critique. if you don't have a plan keep quiet.

    Politicians are clever in sending Sri Lankans females to other countries as slaves , for them to continue their comfortable life style.

    Wow! This party people should be appointed to the IMF board. Happened to meet one of the economic Armageddon's over the weekend, asked what would be their short and medium term solutions to come out of the mess? Answer was hilarious - they will be pushing for general election asap. Depending on the outcome, the next course of action will be decided! What brilliant thinking?

    Ranil has the plan to go before IMF but does not want to comply with their requirements. In other words his plan is not genuine but only for the paper

    In order to System Change Sri Lanka Need new rulers love the country. It is better form a party with new INTERLECTUALS with all communities and face for the upcoming G/election. Mr. Nagananda too must initiate this. General public are waiting for this. Start Now Itself.
