COLOMBO (News 1st); The People’s Liberation Front or the JVP has pointed out that the need of the hour is not a constitution, electoral system, or elections, but solutions to the people’s issues.

“The President told the 72nd Army Day that a new constitution and electoral system will be produced. But that is not the need at present. The people are facing serious issues,” Vijitha Herath, the Propaganda Secretary of the JVP told a media briefing.

In the midst of all these issues, the government is attempting to secure power through elections, he said.

The people oppose this government and will rise against them, he stressed while noting that the people can no longer be fooled with constitutional & electoral matters.
