Thursday, July 14, 2005
The Jatika Hela Urumaya (JHU) had decided to provide an opportunity to lay members to contest the next Parliamentary election on the JHU ticket, JHU Media Secretary Nishantha Sri Warnasinghe said.
The JHU politburo had decided to field lay candidates on the party list revoking its previous decision to allow only bhikkhus to contest.
Mr. Warnasinghe also said the JHU is preparing itself to face a Parliamentary election, which he predicted would be round the corner soon.
“We are strengthening village-based organizations and holding small meetings to inform the public of misdeeds of the government,” he said adding that plans to launch islandwide bodu samuluwas to enlighten the public are being made.
