July 26, 2014 11:55 am
The JVP today rejected the allegation raised by Uva Province Chief Minister Shasheendra Rajapaksa, on four JVP leaders’ alleged involvement in a bomb attack in Kataragama in 1989.
Former JVP Parliamentarian, Samantha Vidyarathna, who is expected to contest the upcoming Uva PC election, told Ada Derana that the JVP is prepared to have a face-to-face debate with the Chief Minister, on this regard.
“If there is such allegation, in the first place he should take legal actions against us. This is a matter that should be dealt with the judiciary. As they become speechless for our allegations, and as well as fail to bring out practical solutions for public issues, now it has become the usual scenario to level baseless allegations,” Vidyarathna added.
He pointed out that implementation of pragmatic solutions for public matters in a constructive way is significant to have, rather than debates on past happenings.
Leader of the JVP Anura Kumara Dissanayaka refused to comment on the incident.
