The JVP has issued a press release condemning the terrorist attack in Bangladesh and the interference in South China Sea by the USA.
The press release issued by the International Section of the JVP on 13.07.2016 states:
We, as the Political Bureau of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (People’s Liberation Front – JVP) vehemently condemn the terrorist attack carried out in Dhaka in Bangladesh. We are fully aware of the suffering and the pathetic situation the masses are confronted with at such a situation as we have experienced such sorrow and suffering of a thirty year war in our country. We also make this an opportunity to extend our condolences to the families of Bangladeshi citizens and foreign nationals who lost their lives in the cowardly attack. We wish speedy recovery for those who were injured in the attack.
Many countries in the world are destroyed and confronted with horrendous civil wars as a result of terrorist and communalist organizations created and nurtured by imperialist countries. It is no secret that specially, terrorist organizations such as ‘Mujahedeen’, ‘Al Kaida’, ‘ISIS’, founded by imperialists, depend on military and financial support of imperialists and countries that follow their political agendas.
Currently, Afghanistan and Pakistan completely and Bangladesh and India partially have become prey to attacks by extremist organizations. This indicates the attacks that began from the Middle East are spreading to Americas, Europe and South Asia. We believe, the people of Bangladesh, who have contributed to two victorious freedom struggles, would fearlessly confront these terrorist attacks and would be able to free their country from the terrorist menace.
The JVP also vehemently condemns the attempts of imperialists to make South Asia and Asian Region the next prey of their military and economic strategy.
The provocative acts carried out targeting China should be specially mentioned. We believe that the territorial disputes that have existed in the South China Sea, involving China and a number of its neighbouring countries for many years should be solved through discussion by countries that are involved in the dispute but we condemn the interference and provocations by the USA in the region using the dispute as an excuse.
Imperialism that inflames wars throughout the world for its own existence sending its senior officers to discuss terrorist acts and issues arising from such attacks which are the consequences of their own vicious agendas is nothing but a joke and we would like to mention here that the military and invasive role played by imperialist countries lead by the USA is loathed by people throughout the world.
We, invite downtrodden people of the world who are oppressed by terrorism, extremism and imperialist interventions to become the couplings of the chain that tie down imperialism.
