The latest political party in Sri Lanka has vowed to find solutions to the island nation's political ills within ten years. Leader of the Jathika Nidahas Peramuna (JNP), Wimal Weerawansa, accused the major political parties of failing to find solutions to burning questions of Sri Lankan people. Addressing journalists in Colombo the leaders of the newly formed JNP insisted that the party is not the alternative to the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP).

Mr. Weerawansa and 11 other parliamentarians broke away from the JVP accusing the party of conspiring against JVP’s former parliamentary group leader.

SL POLITICIANS ARE A DISGRACE TO THE COMMUNITY.

[Saturday, 10 May 2008, 10:27 PM]

This political devil has been a challenge to "DEMOCRACY" among the Sri Lankan Muslims in the recent past. The K.A.Baiz factum was created by the SLMC itself to challenge any opposition "DEMOCRATICALLY" in the run up to local and general elections during the Ashroff period. The late leader Ashroff wanted to give a village lad an opportunity to become a good politician. Baiz turned out to be a corrupt local politician in Chilaw later on. Hon. Rauf Hakeem used this "devil" to defend violence during his democratic struggle to maintain the Leadership of the SLMC after the death of late Hon. Ashroff. The thuggery and violence that Biaz used became an addiction to this "thug" even when SLMC maintained no-violence and respected democratic methods to resolve issues within and outside the party.
