The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) has severely condemned the remarks made by Northern Province Chief Minister C.V. Vigneswaran at a rally held in Jaffna last week, in a bid to spread racism.

Speaking at a press conference held at the head office of the JVP at Pelawatta today (27) MP Tilvin Silva said the views expressed by Vigneswaran are not that of the people in the North and the East.

“The statement made by the Chief Minister of the Northern Provincial Council is one that gives a stimulant to the communalists in the South and such revolting statements made at a time when all Sinhalese, Tamil, and other people strive to achieve national unity should be condemned,” he added.
