I am not a politically bias person. But feel that JHU has every rights to refrain from supporting former front which again expected to be filled with rogues and socially rejected discarded maroons. All the best!

At least these people have the resolve to get out of UPFA and contest unlike rotten and antediluvian parties like MEP.

This is not a move to check vote base, but to free the country from corrupted politicians and the slaves. This must be the priority.
