JVP extends warm greeting to the largest test wicket taker Muttiah Muralitharan  who took the glory of Sri Lanka to the international Arena.

Noteworthy about this was that JVP leader comrade Somawansa Amarasinghe extended the greeting of JVP to Muralitharan at Asgiriya stadium on the very occasion Murali set this record.
