Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said today people should rally round to send off the government which was not giving relief to the people and selling off State property.

Speaking at a protest march held in Colombo yesterday, he said that they would ensure that another corrupt lot would not take over by sending off the current lot.

“It is only the Prime Minister, ministers and smugglers were happy today. This has become an oppressive government. People including farmers and fishing community started to rise against the government. Graduates have left without jobs. Free education is scrapped,” he said.

He said these rulers and their policies have not been able to uplift the peoples’ livelihood for the last seventy years and added that an alternative force was need of the hour.

“People should come forward to defeat the anti-people government. It should be done not allowing another corrupt lot to take over,” he said.

The protest march attended by massive crowds kicked off at Punchi Borella yesterday evening and gathered at the Colombo Fort where they held a rally. (Ajith Siriwardana)

You guys having supported to install the present Yamapalanaya Government should take the rap and admit to that you all have betrayed the people of Srilanka. You all supported Yamapalanaya Government to postpone the elections. Now that you guys have lost the conference of the people and and will be a next to nothing group after the next election. Now you all are trying to carry out anti government protest just to hoodwink the people and cover up your nakedness.

It is too late now, because we lost our country and we are stateless people. Anyhow, general public determined that who should the leader be in the future of Sri Lanka. So, the Election is what public expect.
