Pro-imperialist Ranil, choice of JVP - Weerawansa

Pro-imperialist Ranil Wickremesinghe has now become the choice of the JVP.

The creation of a common candidate who could agree on vital matters without any hesitation arising between a patriot and a traitor or between the imperialist and anti-imperialist, for that matter, is a really a big task which not even the Brahman is capable of, NFF leader Wimal Weerawansa, MP said the white imperialists captured the country by making use of the discontent, enmity and rivalry of the elite of the hill country during the era of Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe.

The same way, today, these imperialists have arrayed Pilimathalawa, and Ehelapolas of present day before the retired General, Weerawansa said. NFF leader made the remarks at the 191st commemorative celebrations of Weera Keppetipola Nilame held at the Udarata Kala Sangama hall in Kandy recently.

The ceremony was organised by the National Patriotic Movement and Ven. Mawela Ariyawansa Thera presided.

Though the imperialists made efforts to pursue their agenda by using the conflict which arose along with the secessionist/terrorism, we were able to overcome that as a nation. These factors are no more present today. However, they still make efforts to install puppet regimes of their choice in countries which oppose them.

At a time when Sri Lanka begins to breathe fresh air of hope after defeating the scourge of terrorism, they are making every effort to destabilise the country once again. This is because of the fact that our country is not ready to dance to the tunes of those imperialists, he said.

Today the JVP is trying to save democracy by aligning with the party which killed nearly 60,000 youth in the country in the 80s. Today people like Ravi Karunanayake, Mano Ganeshan and Rauff Hakeem are carrying General Fonseka while keeping Ranil Wickremesinghe in the front. This is the name list of the imperialists, Wimal Weerawansa said.
