A meeting between Ms. Siri Walt, Ambassador of Switzerland to Sri Lanka and Comrade Anura Dissanayake, the Leader of the JVP and National People’s Power, was held at the JVP head office at Pelawatta today (13).
Ms Justine Bollit, First Secretary ( Political Affairs) of the Embassy, and Comrade Vijitha Herath, Member of the JVP Political Bureau and National Executive Member of the National People’s Power, were also present.
Both sides discussed the current economic crisis and political situation in the country. Comrades Anura Dissanayake and Vijithea Herath pointed out the oppressive situation the people in Sri Lanka are confronted with due to the heavy tax burden imposed by the government following the conditions of the IMF. Also, they drew the attention of the Ambassador and the First Secretary to the government’s move to postpone the elections, which denied the people their right to vote.
