Those who should be in hospitals invite us to topple governments

THURSDAY, 21 JULY 2016

The leaders of Mahinda faction of the SLFP talk about toppling the government to develop the country but they are a sick lot that should be in hospitals instead of talking about developing the country says the General Secretary of the JVP Tilvin Silva.

Mr. Tilvin Silva made these remarks addressing a seminar held at Karandeniya by the JVP under the theme “Debt burden, Tax burden and the collapsing economy”. The JVP is holding a series of seminars under this theme throughout the island.

“As soon as Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa’s son is remanded he gets down a special mattress claiming he has a back pain. He becomes aware that he has a back pain that prevents him from sleeping on the floor only when he is remanded. How could such sick people with back pains topple a government?

Next Mr. Basil Rajapaksa is remanded. Where does he go as soon as he goes to the remand prison?  He gets a severe chest ailment. These are the people who call others to topple governments. They who should be in hospitals call us to topple governments and develop the country,” said the General Secretary of the JVP.
