A JVP delegation, led by its leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake, is currently meeting former President and Opposition Leader Mahinda Rajapaksa on the 20th Amendment to the Constitution at the Opposition Leader's Office. 

JVP MP Sunil Handunetti and Propaganda Secretary Vijitha Herath are the other members of the delegation. 

UPFA MPs Dinesh Gunawardena and Dullas Alahapperuma have joined the discussion from Rajapaksa's side. 

Issuing a statement earlier today, Rajapaksa said it was the JVP that asked for a meeting with him to talk about the 20th Amendment to the Constitution. 

"As the Opposition Leader, it is my responsibility to allow any political group in the opposition, including the TNA, to meet me and discuss political matters," Rajapaksa said issuing a statement this afternoon.

Rajapaksa's statement said his meeting with the JVP was discussed during a party leaders meeting of the Joint Opposition (JO) yesterday.
