JVP General Secretary Tilvin Silva in an interview with Daily Mirror says his party will make a new political formation with the aim of gaining power. He speaks of geopolitical connotations involved in the Hambantota Port project and the Trincomalee Oil Tank Farm project. Excerpts of the interview:
No difference between the present and former rule
Trinco Oil Tank, Hambantota Port, Economic Nerve Centres not to be alienated
Both regimes riddled with rampant corruption, frauds
Q In the context of current political developments, how does the JVP plan for
its activities?
As for the current situation, we find several issues. The economy has
virtually collapsed. The govt is embroiled in a serious financial
crisis. It is now opting to auction off the national assets of the
country as a way out of this crisis. The Hambantota Port and the
adjacent lands, the East Terminal of the Colombo Port, the Trincomalee
Oil Tank Farm are earmarked for selling off. Apart from the Economic and
Technology Co-operation Agreement (ETCA) to be signed, the govt has
inked yet another Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with India outlining
projects to be assigned to India. We are not opposed to mutually
beneficial bilateral agreements.
