JVP does not have intellectual ability to guide country – SLFP Colombo District organiser

The JVP does not have the right ideological disposition and intellectual competence to guide the country out of the economic crisis, the SLFP Central Committee member and Colombo District organiser Fawzan Anwer said.

Speaking to a group of journalists in Colombo, Anwer said the JVP, if given power might make things worse and cause a greater economic crisis than what was witnessed during Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s tenure.

Anwer who was also a onetime Ambassador of Sri Lanka to Palestine said the JVP’s inexperience in governance was visible when they were given Ministerial positions in the former Chandrika Bandaranaike Government and added that their performance failed to match their big words.

Anwer said the SLFP will soon support a new political alliance and will bring forth a ‘broad national programme’ which could benefit the country and the people.

He said plans are afoot for the SLFP led by former President Maithripala Sirisena to embark on a new journey as a strong and powerful party.

Anwer said the SLFP will invite like-minded political entities to join hands. In future elections, the SLFP will only give nominations to candidates with a clean slate in order to end corruption and violence in the political system.

He further said that since the present electoral system was introduced in 1978, during the tenure of former President J. R. Jayewardene, SLFP leaders had engaged in numerous efforts to bring back a system which ensures a Parliament member for every electorate.

The SLFP will strive to provide viable answers to the above issues as well as the current economic crisis and other issues the country is facing, in their new programme. The current SLFP leadership has wide support from both within the country and from outside.

Anwer said if a SLFP Government was in power there would not have been a major economic crisis and fuel and gas queues as witnessed in the recent past as its international connections with major powers were solid and unwavering.
