MPs who voted in favour of Port City Bill, traitors – JVP
The JVP says all Parliamentarians who voted in favour of the Colombo Port City Economic Commission Bill have already gone down in history as traitors.
JVP Chief Secretary Tilvin Silva speaking at a media briefing today said all MPs who voted in favour of the Bill cannot speak of patriotism in future.
Silva said yesterday will be marked as a day that the country was betrayed.
Silva added individuals who spoke of patriotism, spoke of their love for the country and opposed the Millennium Challenge Corporation without any hesitation voted in favour of the Port City Bill yesterday.
He claimed the government sought to pass an unconstitutional Bill yet was obstructed owing to the legal action that was sought before the Supreme Court.
He noted the harmful effects of the Bill was therefore mitigated to a certain extent.
He said a very harmful Bill was passed in Parliament yesterday.

That is when the JVP donkeys write the history book. Don’t worry, Rather than having a living from the idiots’ membership money and making big empty noises and existing on the fringe of political arena in SL, you will never have power or chance to write the history of Sri Lanka, except for going down in the history as the party that led thousands of youth in SL to horrific death and torture in the 1970s. Just open the eyes and see whether there are other countries that have successfully adopted the port city model and succeeded. I am very happy the port city has its own set of rules, because we need to attract business to come to port city in this highly competitive world. That is what other countries do too . Sri Lanka is a penniless country and need to give something away to gain a lot more. By reading what is on the news, it is pretty obvious there are only few evils already not in Srl Lanka, So what? At least the port city will earn some money to feed the people instead of having to go begging!
These are the same people who allowed store paddy at Mattala Air port main building damaging expensive equipment. They were silent when Hambanthota port was given.
Exactly! Little brains and no brains. Doing nothing and criticising is very easy to do. The real job is todo something about a country that has gone to the dog for almost three quarters of century, a society without any discipline fragmented into almost 50 political parties, bribery is endemic and people without any pride begging or cheating any tourist they happen to see. I was amazed to see the number of unions for medical officers in this small county on the news today! They going to help the government to fight COVID? Puh!!!!! Look at China and the COVID and how long it took them to conquer it when nobody new nothing about COVID or no vaccine, and the Rest of the world and the COVID. Situation is good in both Australia and New Zealand since they followed more or less what China did to control it.
