Dessidents start their new party

The inagural meeting of the representatives of National Freedom Front is now being held at the BMICH under its President Wimal Weerawansa.

The founding members of the Front, intellectuals, artistes and senior leaders representing patriotic forces have participated in the meeting.

Addressing the meeting, Mr. Wimal Weerawansa said the front could be introduced as a new political movement needed for the present society.

This movement crops up to provide solutions to challenges facing the country at present. He further said it is important for the front to respond to the accusations raised by some forces.

Chief Secretary of the Front Nandana Gunatilleke, said the political parties which are not ready fulfill the aspirations of the people will be defeated.

He said the failure of the JVP to gain power in the country even after 40 years portrays their inability to identify the pulse of the people.

He also added that the biggest mistake they made recently was not being a stakeholder of the Rajapakse government.
