Much sound and fury ends in nothing

A big row has broken out in the JO following the latest round of talks aimed at uniting the Pohottuwa with the Hand.

The peace efforts have now ended in failure with two factions in the JO taking up firm stands for and against the proposed merger, they say.

Meanwhile, a prominent Green one from the Colombo district has cited the case of making the deposit even before the calling of nominations as a clear indication that the peace moves are just a wild goose chase.
