WHY THIS BLOG
Dr. Wickramabahu Karunarathna is contesting the 2009 Western Provincial Council election and we, a group of civil society activists of Sri Lanka think he should be elected to the Provincial Council so that the muli-faceted struggles he is already engaged in can be strengthened with the mandate of the people expressed through the election.
Therefore, we will vote him and urge you too to do the same.
Let us send our man, the unshaken Marxist and comrade of the downtrodden to the Western Provincial Council so that he can be a stronger companion of ours in struggles against exploitation and suppression of rights.
