September 14 (Daily Mirror) - The National People's Power (NPP) categorically denied media reports suggesting that the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP), a key ally of the NPP, is responsible for the alleged clash at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, which led to its closure.

Addressing the media, former NPP MP Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa said, "Various parties are attempting to pass the blame onto the NPP, to which we have no connection."

He added, "This is a clear sign of how opposition camps are agitated by their imminent loss in the upcoming Presidential Election."
