Issue commemorative stamps for late LSSP stalwarts

COLOMBO: The Lanka Sama Samaja Party (LSSP) has requested the Minister of Posts to issue postage stamps in honour of two stalwarts of the party. They are the former Minister, late Leslie Goonewardane and former Senator D. W. J. Perera.

Leslie Goonewardane had been a Member of Parliament representing the Panadrua electorate and was the Transport Minister during the SLFP-LSSP-CP Government. He had been the Secretary of the Party for quite a long time and had been a founder of the party.

D. W. J. Perera has been a long-standing member of the LSSP and was a teacher at the Panadura Sri Sumangala College. He also served as the Panadura Urban Council Chairman and was the first teacher to be appointed to the Senate.

The Party has pointed out that these members fully deserve to be honoured by commemorative stamps
