Lanka-e-News 27.Dec.2009 8.30PM) A section of the JVP which left the party in the past on various grounds is to support the opposition common Presidential candidate Gen. Fonseka under the ‘Democratic Peoples' forum’(DPF), according to reports reaching 'Lanka e news'.
The leaders of the 1971 insurgency Osman Silva, Maradane Jayatileke , former JVP Gen. Secretary Lionel Bopage and politburo members Keli Senanayake, Kurunegala Tennekoon, several others; and former central Committee members, Kosgoda Premaratne, Govi Nayake, Polonnaruew Jayatissa including many others who left the JVP at various times due to difference of opinions, District secretaries, and a whole host of members have joined this Democratic Peoples' Forum, according to reports.
The Democratic Peoples' Forum stated that though they left the JVP owing to divergence of views , they never did anything to follow different political policies , neither were they enemies of the JVP. They have now come together shedding their differences in order to protect the country from the monumental corruption and extricate it from the unofficially declared military regime and to restore democracy. This primary objective and dire necessity has brought them together, the Democratic Peoples' Forum (DPF), stated.
During the last 40 years, JVP members have got scattered across the entire country and remained silent because they did not have an opportunity to come together to promote a party which can save the country. Now , the DPF will invite all of them to rally round Gen. Fonseka to save the country and democracy.
Speaking to 'Lanka e News', Tilvin Silva the present Gen. secretary of the JVP about the emergence of the DNF said, we consider those who betrayed and did evil as such even now. . Yet there are a large number of them who left the party and did no damage to the party. As regards them , we have a good impression. With them we have no objection to dealing on a cordial note. In any case, they have also a right to do what they wish. If they think that they must intervene to save the country , we see such action as inoffensive.
Political analysts say, this is the first time a group of the JVP dissenters are joining back .
A spokesman for the DPF told 'Lanka e news' that they are having a news conference to enlighten the public on the new developments at Hotel Nippon on the 29th
