Somawanasa insists Wimal pay to repair Bell Accuses him of disobedience

JVP leader Somawansa Amarasinghe yesterday set tough conditions for dissident Parliamentary Group Leader Wimal Weerawansa’s return to the party and the eventual resolution of the crisis triggered by his refusal to carry out decisions of the Party’s decision making body.

Rejecting Weerawansa’s claim of a conspiracy to oust him, Amarasinghe said the MP could come back but that would be subject to his readiness to abide by the Party Constitution.

Addressing a hastily arranged press conference at the Sri Lanka Library Services Board, a furious JVP Chief emphasized that Weerawansa should respect the opinion of the majority. "We’ll not tolerate dissenting views in public. Once a decision is taken on any issue, it would stand," he said.

Flanked by MPs Lal Kantha, Vijitha Herath and Chandrasene Wijesinghe, Amarasinghe asserted that unlike the UNP and the SLFP they wouldn’t turn a blind eye to indiscipline. Weerawansa couldn’t take a different view in public at the expense of the party, he said, acknowledging there wouldn’t and couldn’t be any exception even for him.
