Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna General Secretary Tilvin Silva said that the national government concept is against the mandate given by the people on January 8th.

Speaking at a press briefing on Sunday he said that discussion about a national government acts as a hindrance to the achievement of goals in 100 Days Program.

Silva added that JVP would not oppose the formation of a national government. However he asked the government to implement the promised constitutional changes and to call for elections in Aril as planned.

 Siva said that once the election is held, a parliament in accordance with the mandate given on January 8 will be elected. The current parliament was elected in April 2010. It still has a majority of United People's Freedom Alliance members even though Maithripala Sirisena won the presidential election.

Siva also said that some SLFP leaders were trying to sabotage the 100 Days Program.
