JVP dissident group leader Premakumara Gunarathnam and member Dimuthu Atigala have been arrested, a spokesman to the dissident group said today (07).

However, police media spokesman SP Ajith Rohan, when contacted by Ada Derana, denied the incident and said no such arrests have been made.   

Meanwhile the inaugural convention of the ‘Frontline Socialist Party’ (Peratugami Samajawadhi Party), the political party formed by JVP breakaway faction Movement for People’s Struggle, was to be held on April 09 at the Sugathadasa Indoor Stadium.

Premakumara Gunarathnam, also known as ‘Kumara Mahattaya,’ was scheduled to be formally appointed as its leader on that day, sources within the party said.
