'Jana Balaya Kolambata' the mass protest campaign organized by the Joint Opposition is set to take place on September 05. 

It was initially planned to take place on August 17 to mark the third anniversary of the unity government. However, it was later postponed by two weeks. 

Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa today tweeted that he held a successful discussion with trade unions on the 'way forward' with regard to the protest campaign. 

The campaign will take place under the leadership of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, the de facto leader of the Joint Opposition.
