Sri Lanka, Sept. 8 -- The General Secretary of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP), Tilvin Silva, has refuted what he called "baseless" claims that Harini Amarasuriya is to be removed from her post.

Speaking at a recent public event, Mr Silva said the JVP would not be removing Dr Amarasuriya from her position within the government.

He stated that the opposition has repeatedly made such claims, which have never materialised.

He said that the opposition had previously claimed she would be removed from her ministerial portfolio, and are now suggesting she will be removed from her position as Prime Minister.

Mr. Silva called these rumours nothing more than wishful thinking on the part of the opposition.
