The National Movement for Social Justice (NMSJ) has refuted news reports of certain United National Party (UNP) stalwarts joining their movement.
In a letter to the Editor-in-Chief of the 'Aruna' newspaper, the Secretary of the NMSJ, Palitha Lihiniyakumara said that the news report that was carried on the 17th titled "Ravi, Navin, Arjuna are going to revive Karu's Just Society" is false.
Lihiniyakumara noted that the NMSJ has no plans whatsoever to form a new political movement as reported by the Aruna newspaper.
"The National Movement for a Just Society is a civil society organisation that publicly advocates for social justice as well as for democractic principles of our society," he said.
"As such, our organisation has never stood for political power in this country and that policy will be pursued in the same manner. Therefore, our organisation has no need to be structured as a political movement," he added.
The Secretary of the NMSL requested the Editor to take immediate measures to clarify these facts.
