A senior party spokesman told The Island that JVP leader Somawansa Amarasinghe and National List MP Ramalingham Chandrasekeran had been present at the launch. According to him, they had also set up the Democratic National Alliance (DNA) office with the participation of candidates contesting the April 8 General Election on the DNA ticket.
Responding to a query by The Island, he said that Tamil speaking people would exercise their franchise in support of the DNA to protest against the arrest and detention of Opposition presidential candidate Gen. (retd) Sarath Fonseka. He said that at the recently concluded presidential election, the people of the Northern and Eastern Provinces had overwhelmingly voted for Fonseka, who spearheaded the war against the LTTE.
