Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna, the second largest opposition party in the island nation is doing a 70 mile trek in the form of a mammoth protest march with a huge banner carried at the head demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe whom they alleged to be preparing to hand over one third of the country’s land mass and sixty per cent of the island’s strategic shoreline to the “separatist and Fascist LTTE”.

The parliamentarians of the largest opposition group, the People’s Alliance joined the JVP protestors at Maggona and Beruwela, August 27 while they were being warmly received by the leaders of the JVP including the General Secretary Tilvin Silva

The protest march on the first part of its third leg started at 8.20 a.m. from Aluthgama reached Panadura in the evening.

The three day protest started marching with thousands of protestors from the Southern Port City of Galle , August 25, declaring all national liberation movements in the history of the island nation had started from the ancient province of Ruhuna , of which the historical port city of Galle was part. The organizers called Ranil Wickremesinghe as one of the worst foreign puppets the island nation ever had as it rulers. They said the Ceasefire Agreement that he signed was actually prepared in foreign capitals long before the elections and he did not even want to show it to the nation’s parliament before he signed it.

The third day march was led by JVP leaders Tilvin Silva, Nandana Gunatileke, Achala Suranga Jagoda, S.K.Subhasinghe, K.D.K. Lalkantha and Anjan Umma.
