Members of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) including its socialist youth union, students’ union and arts collective are direct representatives of the protesters and there is no difference between them and the protesters, said Leader of the JVP and the National People’s Power (NPP) MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake, speaking to reporters after a discussion with the 43rd Brigade (Hathalis Thuna Senankaya) movement led by MP Patali Champika Ranawaka yesterday (11).
Q: Are you ready to listen to the protesters?
“Definitely… who are the protesters? Our socialist youth group, our arts collective, and we.. Are we not the protesters?”
