"The formation of the proposed alliance between the SLFP and the JVP is the only alternative to avert our nation's dreadful and inevitable tragedy which is imminent under the present set up. Therefore we will stake our lives to build up this alliance".

This was stated by SLFP MP Anura Bandaranaike when he addressed a PA electoral organisers' seminar at Dambulla organized by Janaka Bandara Tennekoon, the former MP and the SLFP Chief Organizer of the Dambulla Electorate.

"Send home forthwith the UNP regime which pushed the country into an utter mess", this is the main public cry today. Masses throughout the length and breadth of the country clamour in one voice to expedite the formation of the SLFP-JVP Alliance. 99 percent of our membership eagerly await this to happen. We shall achieve this in order to defeat all exploiters and repressive forces who act in the guise of progressives. We shall score an unprecedented triumph at the next General Election that will follow the establishment of the SLFP-JVP alliance, continued Anura Bandaranaike.

Speaking further he said that the so called economic experts in the UNP Government are now struggling to retrieve Rs. 20,000 million Value Added Tax (VAT) collected by tax dodgers who already enjoy tax concessions under the Government while the poor masses are suffering due to starvation, poverty, ill-health, inflation and various other adversities.

What is going on as the peace process is a ruse that helps the LTTE to thrive as a terrorist organization which will eventually take the masses in the North and East as prey. During the last one and half years the LTTE has strengthened its military and personnel resources while eliminating the Government intelligence unit almost totally. Innocent politicians belonging to other parties in the North and East are being massacred by the LTTE. Is this peace? I ask the UNP Leader, stated Anura.

Janaka Bandara Tennakoon, Berty Premalal Dissanayake, Pavithra Vanniarachchi, Dilan Perera and Mervyn Silva also addressed the seminar.
