Giving assurance that the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) and its Trade Unions would not remain silent over selling state assets, JVP Leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said today they would come forward to revert the agreements which had been signed to hand over the Trincomalee Oil Tank Farm to India and transferring of shares of the Kerawalapitiya LNG Plant to a US Company.

He said they would rally round the people to expel the governments that sell state assets and form a government which could manage the state resources under state patronage.

Speaking at a protest march organised against selling of Trincomalee Oil Tank Farm to India, he said plans were afoot to sell commercial lands and buildings in Colombo to foreign Companies.

"Government is planning to sell 13 acres of the land belonging to the Colombo Port to a Chinese Company. Eastern Jetty of the Colombo Port was sold to India's Adani Group of Companies.The agreement was signed to sell Trincomalee Oil Tank Farm to India on January 6. We will fight to revert these agreements," he said.(Ajith Siriwardana)

JVP should be elected and lets see what changes it brings. They can take a fresh look to the divide of the country too

many past governments have come and gone but nobody changed anything what their predecessor did. All talk no action. Hope JVP will stick to their words if elected.

Bring country to Halt indefinitely by non violent ways until it's reverted. JVP could do.

Once the agreements are signed it will become a legal document. It's not easy to come out of the agreement unless we pay a heavy fine. But can this be done? do we have anymore money left to pay the fines. In my view, JVP should not give any promises in their election campaign about taking them back. Rather I would say, JVP will see the feasibility of taking them back without a fine. Otherwise people will say JVP hasn't done the promises and they have to exit due to their constitutional changes they are expecting to do. "if the promises are not done, people can go to the court and file a case against them.'
