The JVP is to launch an agitation campaign on the 12th demanding the “government that made the country anarchic and sacrifices public security” to resign says the Information Secretary of the JVP Vijitha Herath.
The JVP emphasizes that the government that betrays the country before the USA led world forces, that burdens the masses with extreme taxes and increases prices of essential goods and sells resources of the country including the oil tank farm in Trincomalee and lands belonging to the people should resign immediately.
Agitation and a protest walk against the government will be held in Colombo on the 12th at 3.00 p.m. Mr Herath said the campaign will be supported by several progressive forces including workers’ students’ women’s and youths’ organizations.
Meanwhile, opposition leader Mahinda Rajapaksa has said that the opposition is prepared to take measures to launch a massive protest demonstration to topple the government.
He had said thus while speaking to media after the alms giving marking the demise of Ven. Somananda Thera.
