A meeting between electorate organizers and President Maithripala Sirisena is taking place this afternoon to discuss the current situation, especially regarding the VAT.

The SLFP stalwarts are expected to make their suggestions during the meeting regarding the legislation.

UPFA General Secretary Mahinda Amaraweera recently made it clear that the SLFP will not support the VAT if their suggestions are not accepted.

Meanwhile, discussions are expected to focus on the 'Jana Satana Pada Yatra' organized by the 'Joint Opposition'. A section of the SLFP leadership is considering drastic action against the SLFP members who join the Colombo-Kandy march.
