Uvindu Wijeweera says that various political parties infiltrated the struggle and diluted it. He also says there is no possibility of making Sri Lanka a Russia or England.

He also emphasized there that he has not accepted any positions in the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JV) as the son of Rohana Wijeweera and that he is not linked to the party. 

“As the Second Generation we are acting democratically. We will take the middle path. A new political discourse should emerge in Sri Lanka. For that, it is necessary for a new political party to be formed. We intervene in the struggles, but some parties took possession of the struggle and dissolved it. I am inviting the current youth generation and those who were in politics with my father Rohana Wijeweera to join us. We are ready to face any election as a democratic party. In the past, a government that was elected by 2/3 of the power was removed by the people and we presented a series of proposals to the current government but there has not been a favourable response.” he said.

Uvindu Wijeweera, the son of JVP founder Rohana Wijeweera says the ‘Aragalaya’ or the citizen’s struggle made a mistake by taking a political appearance in its latter stage. “Power must be seized through democratic means,” he said.

Wijeweera made these comments while addressing the media in Embilipitiya recently. 

Wijeweera said that the people are fed up with the 74-year-old corrupt political system in Sri Lanka.

“People are looking for a change and a new political journey. They are looking for a new path for the country. Accordingly, the second generation created an organization many years ago seeing the problems in this country. We were able to commence a new political journey.” he said. 

Calling on everyone to set aside all party divides, Wijeweera said a national program must be implemented to revive the country. “If not we will have to suffer for another 74 years” he added.
