The JVP is to demonstrate its opposition to the economic and defence agreements to be signed with the US, say party sources.

At a meeting of the party’s central committee, Vijitha Herath said the pact was going be kept secret from the public, adding that government officials were due to leave for New York to sign it.

The JVP CC also decided to protest against an agreement to be signed with Britain under which awareness is to be raised among military officers on human rights.

Furthermore, the party decided to oppose the entirety of the proposed ITCA agreement with India.
