JVP chooses to ignore TNA accusations

The JVP yesterday said that it did not wish to get dragged into a debate over 'ridiculous statements' made by the TNA about its past.

Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) Group leader Wimal Weerawansa yesterday said that he did not wish to speak on matters relating to the Courts and if any persons had made allegations against their party, with regard to law and order, they were the best persons to provide answers to such issues.

Weerawansa made these remarks to The Island yesterday in response to a statement made by the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) parliamentarian Nadaraja Raviraj on Saturday.
