Be prepared to sacrifice your lives: JVP Dissidents

13 Nov 2011 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

JVP dissidents, who called for a socialist revolution, today requested its cadres to be prepared to even sacrifice their lives for the cause following the example of the party’s founder leaders.

The JVP led Socialist Students Union National Organiser and Central Committee member Chamira Koswatte who delivered the key note address at the El Maha Samuluwa which was organised to commemorate the party’s founder leader Rohana Wijeweera and others at the Sugathadasa Indoor Stadium today said what is needed today is a real revolution to topple the present capitalists system as it is what the past comrades died for.

“Let us begin our battle to topple the current capitalist system which governs the country just like our fallen leaders and be prepared to sacrifice our lives as they did in 1971 and in 1989,” Mr. Koswatte said with much vigour in the midst of loud cheering from the crowds who gave him a standing ovation.

Mr. Koswatte had the crowds spell bound with stories on how past comrades met their deaths. He related how a 15 year old cadre attacked a member of the security forces just to save his fellow cadres from torture. “This 15 year old boy was lined up with three other cadres for torture and he suddenly decided to save his fellow cadres and bit a member of the security forces who was administering torture,” he said.

Coming up with another story he recalled how another cadre managed to urinated into the mouth of the person torturing him just minutes before he was killed. He said none of these cadres divulged any information despite the cruelty they were subjected to. “This was the kind of spirit which our late comrades had and which we should develop,”

Slamming the JVP Hirarchy he said those who are holding high posts in the party today do not have the right to commemorate the late comrades including Wijeweera and others as they have put the party on the wrong track forgetting the leftist line. “They can go before the commission of elections on behalf of the party but cannot claim Wijeweera and others as their leader and they don’t have the right to even walk close to his portrait,” he said.
