Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri questioned who leads the NPP and urged its members to clarify responsibility for policy positions, warning them not to become an appendage of the JVP. He criticized the Government’s handling of shortages of essentials such as salt, rice, and coconuts after six months in office, and called on NPP members to work with the SJB to develop a fair and practical programme.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Also, who is your party leader? Tell us clearly who leads the NPP so we can ask about your policies. Do not become an appendage to the JVP. To the learned in the NPP: protect your dignity; speak out against lies. Work with us in the SJB to build a fair, widely acceptable new program. Today there is no salt, rice, or coconuts. After six months, if this is the state, you have failed. Join to build a workable plan.

¶ 02 Thank you.
