COLOMBO (News 1st)-A seminar was organized in Colombo yesterday (April 03) under the title “Repeal the Counter-Terrorism Bill”

Politburo Member of the JVP, Wasantha Samarasinghe spoke at the seminar.

Wasantha Samarasinghe noted that the power crisis is actually a scam which is much bigger than the bond scam itself. He noted that Sri Lanka only needs 250 megawatts in addition to what the power plants generate.  He added that the 250 megawatts that is short could be bought from private companies. He noted that the ministers and MPs are paving a way to run a racket and fill their pockets. He concluded with “this crisis will run for at least three more years”.
