Vimukthi

The National People’s Power (NPP) Alliance, led by the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP or People’s Liberation Front), has emerged as a prominent third front, vowing to shake up the old political establishment.

In June 2014, Sri Lanka’s Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) had accused Jayasuriya of leading a mob that assaulted a group of students of Ruhuna University.

Meanwhile, Speaker of the Parliament Karu Jayasuriya and Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) did not attend the meeting.

In a manifesto issued during this period, the group used the name Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna for the first time.
