The General Secretary of the JVP said the JVP is engaged in the task of building a massive people’s power to save the country from the crisis of the capitalist system and the members of the JVP cannot be deceived or discouraged by fabricated falsehoods. He called upon the people in the country not to believe slanders but to rally with the JVP to build a country with a better future.

The Ashok Leyland bus fraud of the SLTB by former Minister of Transport Kumara Welgama was exposed by the Leader of the JVP and Chief Whip of the Opposition Anura Dissanayaka in Parliament recently. In the SLTB fraud committed by Kumara Welgama 1000 buses were bought paying Rs.one million more for each bus.

Mr. Anura Dissanayaka was involved in exposing this massive fraud and Mr. Kumara Welgama’s brother Nimal Welgama came forward to protect Mr. Kumara Welgama. Nimal Welgama, the owner of ‘Divaina’, received various privileges from the corrupt Mahinda Rajapaksa regime.

Mr. Nimal Welgama was appointed Chairman of Telecom during Mahinda Rajapaksa regime and a large amount of money was pumped to ‘Divaina’ newspaper through advertisements. He was also a member of the Monetary Board of the Central Bank and could get advertisements of the Central Bank to ‘Divaina’ newspaper.

Mr. Nimal Welgama is an accused in a case regarding forcibly possessing assets belonging to late Mr. Upali Wijewardene. He is vengeful that the corrupt Mahinda Rajapaksa was defeated at the general election.

Mr. Kumara Welgama, a main activist of Mahinda – Wimal gang that is bent on bringing Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa to power again has given instructions to supporters in ‘Divaina’ newspaper to create vicious slanders against Mr. Anura Dissanayaka who could be an obstacle for the joint opposition.

Manoj Abeydheera, connected to the editorial board of ‘Divaina’ newspaper has fabricated the slander with support from Wimal Weerawansa to gratify his masters. The whole article is a fabrication and the mudslinging campaign has been launched after several days of discussion between Wimal Weerawansa and Manoj Abeydheera.
