He later moved to the University of Kelaniya where he graduated with a B.Sc degree in physics. After the violent period of 1988-89 when student activists were under great threat, his involvement in youth politics intensified following the changes that took place in 1994, and the defeat of the UNP after 17 years. He was associated with the launch of the Samajavadi Shishya Sangamaya (Socialist Students&#146; Society), and functioned as its national organizer in 1994. His commitment to political activity saw him elected to the central committee of the JVP in 1996. From 1998 he has been a member of the JVP&#146;s Political bureau, its key policy making body. Dissanayake entered parliament from the JVP&#146;s National List in 2000. He was elected to parliament as a JVP representative from the Kurunegala District in April 2004.
