JVP criticizes UNP-SLMC alliance on EP polls

The Janatha Vikumthi Peramuna says the United National Party and the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress jointly contest the eastern provincial council to fulfill the expectations of LTTE terrorists.

Parliamentarian Anura Kumara Dissanayake at a media briefing in Colomno today said leader of the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress Rauf Hakeem is the only political party leader in the country who had signed an agreement with the LTTE leader.

He added Mr. Hakeem has no clear stance regarding separation of the eastern province from the northern province. Member Dissanayake also said the JVP is contesting the election in order to establish the unity of all ethnic groups and to provide an opportunity for them to enjoy resources in the province.
