JVP impressively commemorated EL Heroes in London

Sublime 23 rd commemoration of Il heroes which was organized by JVP London committee in the UK was held at wale farm auditorium in London with the participation of a big crowd and the JVP leader comrade Somawansa Amarasinghe in last week. Comrade Darshana Hettiarachchi was the chairperson of the occasion and some of the participants came from most remote areas in the UK as well.

The event was started by lightning oil lamps and placing flowers in front of the creatively designed commemoration post and sang commemoration songs in order to commemorate hundreds of thousands of patriotic comrades including founder, comrade Rohana Wijeeweera who sacrificed their lives for our motherland. Comrade Somawansa Amarasinghe who gave the main speech mentioned that, in the very moment we commemorate 23rd Il heroes, the capitalist systems was facing a big crisis and collapsing by itself and it was clearly shown by the massive demonstrations which were done by thousands of people in Europe and America recently.

He further noted that the economic crisis in Sri Lanka of which was ruled by capitalist leaders who were the puppets of World Bank and International Monetary Fund was the part of the same collapse which was significant in global scale and the capitalists leaders of Sri Lanka, Mahinda Rajapakshe and Ranil Wickremasinghe had clearly failed to find proper solution for this persistent burden. He said that the ruthless capitalism had created cultural, social and ethnic conflicts across the world for their sheer purpose of survival and the prolonged ethnic crisis in Sri Lanka for 30 years provided a best example as they used this conflict as a clear shield to hide the brutal nakedness of capitalism and even after the ethnic war, they had not stopped their savage businesses, such as corruptions, intimidating, abductions and killing people.

All the respectable capitalist institutions had been collapsed and misused only for the survival of capitalist leaders. They had always intrigued to destroy or oppress the other parties or individuals who had not willingly obey and agree with their activities. The recent conflict between the Constitution and the Supreme Court gave the best example for that. In those circumstances comrade Somawansa signified, that the inevitable duty of activists and followers of JVP, which was the unique option for the corrupted capitalist system, was to remain in the correct stance in the ideology, protect the moral of the party and fortify with the knowledge in order to organize the working class to prepare to give an influential blow to the oppressors and to figure out correctly and defeat the factionalism and conspiracies of bourgeois and protect the essence and spirit of the party and use it for the liberation of the society.

One faction who had supported the racist terrorism had tried to tarnish the reputation of the party. But it was successfully defeated and their true color had shown from the commemoration ceremony they had organized recently. He further asked from the participants that not to be seduced by the illusions of opportunists and capitalists conspiracies. Finally he reminded that the lives which sacrificed were inevitably affiliated with liberation, social integrity, equality and imminent socialized society, therefore our unavoidable responsibility was to dedicate ourselves to the same purpose which the Il heroes tried to achieve in the history.

The organizer of the JVP committee in the UK, Comrade Darshana Hettiarachchi addressed the audience and emphasized that, even though the effort of regaining the ruling power of the party was defeated, that faction which was withdrawn from the party had some closer connections with small Trotskyites’ groups internationally and he asked generally from all the Sri Lankan residents in foreign countries that as Marxists and Leninists, not to be intrigued by their activists and their conspiracies.
