"The government led by Sri Lanka's President Mahinda Rajapakse has unleashed state terrorism against the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP). I would say categorically to the government that it cannot suppress the JVP; the JVP has all powers and strength to defeat state terrorism in any form," Gampaha district parliamentarian and JVP Propaganda Secretary, Wijitha Herat, told media Friday, sources in Colombo said.

JVP Propgaganda Secretary was commenting on the security situation leading up to the Provincial Council elections in North central Province (NCP) and Sabaragamuwa Province (SP).

"Ministers have been directly involved in state terrorism. Police are not taking steps on complaints against such ministers and government politicians. There is no law and order in the two provinces," Mr Herat added.
