JVP won't topple Govt - Anura Kumara

By Anura Maitipe

"We do not want to help topple the government and pave the way for the UNP to capture power. But if the government is heading towards its own collapse we will take an appropriate political decision at the opportune time, JVP parliamentarian Anura Kumara Dissanayake told a seminar at the Public Library Auditorium last week.

The JVP will never take opportunist decisions which would endanger the lives of people in this country as drastic decisions taken by certain political parties in the past have proved that they have not brought any good to the people and the country, he said.

Some tend to say that the JVP is now on the fence. It was not the JVP but the government and the UNP which are on the fence. We are playing a mediatory role and waiting to see the crossover dramas which will take place in the House within the next few days during the vote on the budget.

The JVP will allow all these crossover dramas to be staged in the House and the JVP will take a timely decision for the benefit of the patriotic people of this country at the appropriate time, he said.
